Three people have fallen victims to forced disappearance in the
industrial town in less than three weeks, much to the worry of local
people and the family members.
The disappeared people are Jubo League district unit former publicity
affairs secretary Zahurul Islam Bhuiyan alias Parvez, Toki murder
suspect Yusuf Hossain Liton and Sultan Shawkat alias Bhramar.
Families of the victims alleged that people introducing themselves as
law enforcers picked up all the three men, an allegation denied by law
enforcement agencies.
Leaders and activists of different political parties and general
people voiced their grave concern over the frequent incidents of
disappearance.
On July 6, unknown miscreants posing as detectives picked up Zahrul
Islam, an expelled Jubo League leader, from Gulshan-2 Chattar in the
capital.
On the day, Sohana, Zahrul’s wife who was with him during his
abduction, lodged a general diary with Gulshan Police Station in
connection with the incident.
Narayanganj Superintendent of Police Syed Nurul Islam said they asked
the Gulshan police to investigate the incident with utmost importance.
On July 15, miscreants in the guise of Rapid Action Battalian (Rab)
members abducted Yusuf Ahmed Liton from the road in front of
Narayanganj district jail as he got out of the jail on bail in the
Toki murder case.
Asked about it, police said they heard about Liton’s abduction and are
carrying out a drive to trace him.
On the same day, Sultan Shawkat alias Bhramar, a close associate of
Ajmeri Osman, son of MP Nasim Osman of Narayanganj-5 constituency,
disappeared.
Later, victim’s wife Tania Akhter lodged a general diary with
Keraniganj Police Station in this connection.
Officer-in-charge of Keraniganj Police Station Shakhawat Hossain said
they are investigating the matter.
Tanvir Mohammad Toki, son of former president of Narayanganj
Sangskritik Jote Rafiur Rabbi, was found dead on the bank of the
Shitalakkhya on March 8, two days after he had gone missing.
On March 20, Rafiur submitted a written complaint to Narayanganj SP,
accusing seven people including former Awami League MP Shamim Osman
and his son Ayan Osman of killing Toki. -UNB, Narayanganj
