KHAGRACHHARI, Apr 24 (UNB): Five students of Chittagong University (CU), who were abducted a week ago, have been released, according to the Pahari Chhatra Parishad (PCP).
Although the five students from various ethnic communities were reportedly freed on Wednesday, the matter came to light on Thursday after PCP issued the statement confirming their release.
The five students, who had gone missing from the Giriful area in Khagrachhari on April 16 while returning home after celebrating the Biju festival, are now staying at their respective village homes.
The five abducted students are Rishon Chakma, a student of International Relations; Maitrimoy Chakma and Aldrin Tripura, both students of Fine Arts; Dibby Chakma of Theatre Department; and Longi Mro from the Zoology Department.
They were abducted along with an auto-rickshaw driver who was later released.
Following the abduction, the PCP accused the United People's Democratic Front (UPDF) of being behind the incident.
However, Angya Marma, a district organiser of the UPDF, repeatedly denied the allegations.
