Abducted Ruma Sonali Bank manager rescued

Nezam Uddin, the manager of Sonali Bank's Ruma upazila branch who was abducted by robbers on Tuesday night, has been rescued.

Rab-15 commanding officer Lt Col HM Sajjad Hossain said they rescued the bank official from the Ruma Bazar area. He was being taken to Bandarban Rab camp, he said.

Armed criminals stormed Bandarban's Ruma upazila parishad complex on April 2 night, disarmed security personnel and took their firearms, robbed the Sonali Bank branch and abducted the bank manager.

Nezam Uddin, manager of Sonali Bank's Ruma branch, is physically healthy and mentally stable, said Sonali Bank Managing Director Md Afzal Karim.

Afzal spoke to Nezam for more than half an hour at the Rab camp in Bandarban Sadar Police Station on Thursday night.

After the meeting, the Sonali Bank MD told The Daily Star that he was hoping Nezam could go home tomorrow.

"We talked to him. He told us about different things since the abduction," he added.
