Narayanganj abduction, murder

Narayanganj abduction, murder

The gruesome kidnap and murder of seven persons including Narayanganj City Corporation panel mayor Nazrul Islam in April sent a wave of panic across Bangladesh. In a stunning allegation, Islam's father-in-law said that some Rab men killed him in exchange for Tk 6 crore from Awami League leader Nur Hossain and a few others. The authorities fired three Rab officers including commanding officer of Rab-11 Lt Col Tareque Sayeed Mohammad and they were eventually arrested and brought to justice.
