Abductiion: Ex-SP among 13 sued in Jashore

A Jashore businessman sued 13 policemen, including former superintendent of police Anisur Rahman, on Sunday night for allegedly abducting him, and attempting to kill him in 2014.

Masudur Rahman Nannu, the businessman, lodged the case with a court. The accused include former officers and constables, among them Milu Mia Biswas, then assistant superintendent of police, and several others.

According to the complaint, Nannu was abducted on May 31, 2014, near Manihar Cinema Hall following Anisur Rahman's orders.

He was taken to Chanchra Police Outpost, tortured, and threatened with "crossfire" unless Tk 25 lakh was paid. His brother managed to pay Tk 10 lakh, securing his release. However, the accused shot Nannu in the leg before admitting him to Jashore General Hospital.

An arms case was filed against Nannu, who was later transferred to a Dhaka hospital under police custody and eventually sent to prison.

Nannu alleges he was unable to seek justice earlier due to the accused's influence. He now feels the conditions are favourable for legal action.
