Father\\\'s killers abducted Gazipur\\\'s female councillor

A Gazipur city councillor, found after being missing for two days, says she was abducted by her father’s killers, who wanted the case over her father’s murder withdrawn. Parvin Akhter was briefing reporters about her abduction from the Gazipur district superintendant’s office on Sunday. Her father Chan Miah, a freedom fighter, was killed in 2011 by identified miscreants over a land dispute and that killers were behind her abduction, she said. ‘A woman called me on Thursday, saying she wanted my help in settling her marital crisis.’ Parvin said she met the stranger at Jirani Bazar, next to Rahimafrooz Battery Factory at 8am on Friday. The woman said she wanted to sell her some gold ornaments for about Tk 15,000 and asked her to accompany her to Jirani Bazar, said the councillor. ‘We went to Jirani Bazar together. She showed me a microbus and said she would hand me the jewellery once I got into the vehicle.’ The councillor said she saw about five people including ‘her father’s killers Dulal Hazi, ‘Jewel’ and Soheil in the vehicle. ‘They pressed a handkerchief on my nose when I tried to get away. I soon lost consciousness. I found myself in a room when I regained consciousness at around 9pm.’ she said. ‘The woman I met and a couple of others were guarding the locked room. They hit me a couple of times and asked me to withdraw the case over my father’s murder. I didn’t respond.’ The next morning, at 8am, her captors fled after dumping her on the Dhaka-Habiganj highway with her hands and feet tied, she said, according to bdnews24.com.
