Road crash saves kidnapped man

4 arrested from hospital

Staff Correspondent
He was kidnapped from the capital by goons allegedly hired by his younger brother, and was being driven in a microbus towards Gazipur. But a road accident miraculously saved him from the clutches of the kidnappers, and perhaps his life.
Didar Ahmed Pulok, a businessman, was abducted by a gang of five from his Purana Paltan residence around
l:15amyesterday.
While heading towards Rajendrapur, the microbus hit a covered van at Joydevpur in Gazipur around 2:30am.
Both Pulok and his abductors were injured.
Pulok fled the scene and managed to come to Dhaka Medical College Hospital for treatment, he told The Daily Star at DMCH.
In what seemed like a coincidence, the alleged kidnappers also came to DMCH for treatment from where police detained four of them.
They are Farhad Alam Mamun, 32, Jafri, 24, Helal, 24, and Shafiq, 36.
The driver of the microbus is on the run.
Pulok, also chairman of Foyez Cold Storage at Sirajdikhan in Munshiganj, alleged that his younger brother, Benzir Ahmed Alok, had hired the abductors.
Alok went into hiding after the incident, police said.
Pulok said he had a feud with his only brother over some family property after his return from the UK in October last year. Till then Alok had been the chairman of the firm.
He said his brother was a drug addict and alleged: “Alok has been threatening me for long. He might have hired the goons to kill me after abduction.”
He said he was forced into the microbus by five youths while he was parking his car
in the garage of his house.
“Luckily the microbus had an accident, leaving me and the abductors injured."
On his arrival at the DMCH by a truck, Pulok noticed that the kidnappers too had come there.
He then informed the police of the matter, leading to the detention of the four.
Pulok filed a case with Paltan Police Station accusing five people, including his brother, of being behind the kidnap attempt.
Md Munna, a security guard at Pulok's residence, told The Daily Star that Alok had been waiting in the garage for Pulok with five other youths and a microbus.
“They (the five] forced him into the microbus and
drove away," he added.
Quoting Alok, detainee Mamun told this correspondent that Pulok was a drug addict and he needed treatment at a drug rehabilitation centre.
“We offer voluntary service at a rehabilitation centre of Ahsania Mission in Gazipur. We were taking him [Pulok] there for treatment,” he claimed.
Asked by police, officials at the Ahsania Mission rehabilitation centre said they had no such volunteers, said Hiru Mollah, sub-inspector of Paltan Police Station.
Police were trying to apprehend Alok, who allegedly paid the kidnappers Tk 6,500 in advance, promising to pay more once the job was done, Hiru added.
