Showing a new twist in the ongoing abduction spree, a farmer was kidnapped by miscreants in Chuadanga Sadar Upazila on Friday. The victim was identified as Ainal Haque, 43, son of late Azgar Ali of Mohammadjuma village. Victim’s brother Bazlur Rahman said a gang of miscreants, numbering 7/8, identifying themselves as members of Detective Brach (DB) of police, entered their house at Mohammadjuma at night. They asked Ainal to open the door and as he did so, they picked him up at gunpoint and left the place by a microbus with him. Later, Ainal’s family went to the local DB office where they were told that the detective force had not conducted any drive at that village at that time. When connected, Mohammad Kamruzzaman, assistant superintendent of police, said miscreants might have picked up Ainul in the guise of DB police, according to UNB.
