'Abducted' IT professional returns after 3 months

IT professional Ataur Rahman Shahin, who was allegedly abducted from the city’s Tejgaon area three months back, returned home early today.

“He knocked at the door of his Mirpur residence around 1:30am…We are happy that we got him back alive,” Shahin’s brother-in-law Rabiul Islam told The Daily Star.

Shahin’s family members remained tight-lipped about other details like the family members of other missing people who had returned beforehand.

Shahin, 38, an assistant general manager at a private institution in Tejgaon, was reportedly hustled into a microbus around 8:05pm on May 2.

Video footages of nearby CCTV cameras showed he was shoved into a white microbus by some people from the capital’s Gulshan Link Road in Tejgaon that night. Police are yet to identify the abductors or trace the car.

Shahin completed his education in India’s Bangalore, specialising in software engineering. He lives with his family in Dhaka’s Mirpur area.
