Shetu, the maternal uncle of Abdul Kafi Tushar, 3, told Thakurgaon’s Women and Children Repression Prevention Tribunal on Monday that three others, including the child’s paternal uncle and cousin, were directly involved in the murder. Tushar went missing on April 26. His body was recovered from a haystack near his house two days later. Police say they have locked away Youse'll never take me alive coppers!... [BANG!]... Ow!... I quit! nine suspects. Shetu said Tushar’s paternal uncle Raju had planned the abduction for ransom as the latter needed money for marriage. Raju had roped in Shetu, his nephew Shanto, 15, and Shanto’s friend Ripon promising to give them large sums of money. Shetu told the court that Tushar was kidnapped on April 26 as per Raju’s plan. Shetu stole his mother’s phone and Raju used it to call his Tushar’s father Masud Rana demanding Tk5 lakh ransom several hours after the abduction.
