3 Gaibandha men go missing

Family accuses Rab of abduction; seeks gout action

Staff Correspondent
A team of Rapid Action Battalion-12 has “abducted” three youths from Gabtoli upazila in Bogra on Monday, alleged their family members yesterday and urged the government to take steps to trace them.
The abductees are Mohammad Hasanul Hasan, 35, Bazlar Prodhan, 42, and his cousin Mintu Prodhan, 30. The
three were sued by Rab-5 on February 24 on charges of beating up some Rab members and snatching a gun from the law enforcers.
The family members were addressing a press conference at the auditorium of Crime Reporters Association of Bangladesh in the city.
Hasanul's wife Rokeya Begum in a
written statement said his husband was riding a motorbike on February 23 with two pillion passengers on his way home at Boalia village of Gobindaganj upazila in Gaibandha.
Crossing the Sapmara area, the bike hit a Rab-5 car coming from the opposite direction and broke a rear view mirror of the car.
Incensed at this, Rab personnel got down from the vehicle and started beating up the three.
At one stage some locals gathered there and asked the law enforcers about the incident. The Rab men misbehaved with them triggering a scuffle.
The following day Rab-5 filed a case with Gobindaganj Police Station accusing 12 persons including the three abductees in this connection, mentioned Rokeya Begum.
Fearing arrest, about six accused including her husband went into hiding at one of their relatives' house at Kagil union in Gabtoli upazila.
The Rab-12 team in their uniform raided the house on
Monday night and picked up the three, while the rest managed to flee the scene.
A Rab pick-up was parked outside the house during the raid.
When their family members went to Rab-12 office the following day to complain about the incident, the Rab officials denied it.
Rokeya also alleged that Gobindaganj police on Sunday refused to record a general diary in this connection.
Contacted, Commanding Officer of Rab-12 Lt Col Anisuzzaman said they have no idea about such an operation.
"We didn't conduct any operation in Gabtoli after March 11. As far as I know, Rab-5 also didn't carry out any drive in the area," he mentioned adding, "Some criminal gangs commit robbery and abduction in Rab uniform. We are probing whether any such gang has committed the crime."
Rima Begum, wife of Bazlar, and Rashida Begum, wife of Mintu, were present, among others, at the press conference.
