Two abducted cops killed!

Mehedi Hasan (21), son Jasim and Sajjad Hossain (22), son of Shahabuddin both leaders of Purbo Banglar Communist Party told the police that sarboharas have killed sub-inspector AH Azam Khan and office assistant Qamrul Alam Khan.

Police sources said Mehedi admitted that his father Jasim was involved in the abduction of the two police officers. Mehedi said that his father met him in Dhaka 3 or 4 days ago and informed that he would soon leave the country for Pakistan through India.
Reliable sources said Sub-inspector Azam Khan was closely linked with PBCP during the student life. Police had arrested him twice from Rajbari. Aziz, a PBCP leader of Rajbari, recognized Azam Khan on April 3 when he was returning home from the office. And Aziz ordered his men to abduct and annihilate Azam and Quamrul. Meanwhile, Police and RAB in joint raids to sarbohara infested areas of the district have so far held 54 people.
"Into the paddy wagon wit' yez!"
"It's a six-passenger van! There are 53 people in there already!" |
OC Abdul Wahab Khan of Rajoir thana told UNB that DSB SI Hasnain Azam, 37, and DSB chief office assistant M Kamrul Islam, 50, were kidnapped by miscreants on their way back home from office in the evening on the day. Rajoir police have so far taken 33 people into custody in this connection and they were continuing the manhunt to arrest the kidnappers and rescue the DSB men. DSB sources said the two men had left the office for home as usual on April 3, but the office was informed the following day that they did not return home. After two days' hectic search, the office came to know that they were kidnapped by a gang of 30 terrorists from Shakharpar village in Rajoir thana. They were seen being taken to the other side of the Sri River in an engine boat and nothing could be known about their fate since then.
| "Dunno what happened to 'em! They wuz in the boat when we left, wudn't there when we arrived!" |
According to locals, the area has turned into a haven of terrorists due to downslide in the law order situation. |
