Myanamar hands over Razzak

Myanmar’s Border Guard Police (BGP) has returned Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) soldier Abdur Razzak, eight days after his abduction from the Naf River in Cox’s Bazar. He was handed over to the BGB around 4:15pm on Thursday after a flag meeting between the two border guard forces at Maungdaw, just across the border in Myanmar, BGB Cox’s Bazar Sector Deputy Commander Major Aminul Islam said. A seven-member BGB team led by its Teknaf Battalion Commander Lt Col Abu Jar Al Jahid went to the Myanmar town on Thursday morning to negotiate the release. Razzak was abducted following what Dhaka described as a shootout on the Naf River at Cox’s Bazar’s Teknaf on Jun 17 between border patrols, according to a news agency.
