Abduction of Expat Workers in UAE

Ringleader, aide arrested in Iran

Iranian police last month arrested two Bangladeshis who were allegedly involved in abducting a fellow countryman from the UAE for ransom and taking him to Iran.
The arrestees are Nanu Mia, a ringleader of a trafficking gang, and his associate Taj Uddin.
"Iranian police raided a flat rented by the criminals in Bandar Abbas on March 27 and arrested the duo following information from Bangladesh embassy officials in Tehran," said Shah Alam, additional DIG of Criminal Investigation Department (CID) yesterday.
Iranian police also rescued the abducted Bangladeshi Shafiul Alam, who hails from Khulna, during the raid in the Iranian port city.
Shafiul used to work as a plumber at a company in the UAE before being taken to Bandar Abbas by Nanu on December 28 last year.
Bangladesh consulate in Dubai last month foiled a move of the trafficking gang who wanted to abduct 25 Bangladeshis with
promises of lucrative jobs in Iran, Turkey, Greece and Italy, he said.
"At least 80 Bangladeshis, who became victims of such abductions by their county-men, had been rescued by Iranian police between February and March," he added.
Meanwhile, the CID arrested five local agents of Nanu from Bangladesh between January and March.
They are Abdul Kadir of Mymensingh, Jasim Uddin ofNoakhali, Morsheda Begum of Moulvibazar, Shahanaz of Nilphamari and Rahmatullah alias Faruk of Sylhet.
Nanu Mia, who hails from Sylhet, had been living in Iran along with his family for the last 30 years and handling his gang to kidnap Bangladeshi migrants and realise ransom from their families.
He came under the watch of the CID when Shafiul's younger brother Rabiul Islam filed a case with the capital's Bhashantek Police Station on January 11 regarding the abduction incident.
According to the case statement, Shafiul's family had to payTk two lakh as ransom to the accounts of the local agents ofNanu.
During the investigation, police found that Nairn's gang had abducted Shafiul and confined him to a hideout in Bandar Abbas.
The gang had promised Shafiul lucrative jobs in Turkey before mobilising him to the Iranian port city from the HAE on December 28.
The CID then contacted the Iranian police to arrest the ringleader of the gang and rescue the victim, said additional DIG Shah Alam.
Bi noy Krishna Mollick, executive director of Rights Jessore, an NGO, told this correspondent that he would assist Shafiul in getting back home.
Earlier, the CID had arrested 14 local agents of another gang, who abducted 30 Bangladeshis from the HAE and Oman and confined them at a house in Bandar Abbas last year.
However, one of them, Jewel Mollah, was beaten to death by six of his fellow workers over a dispute at Bandar Abbas on December 4.
The rest of the Bangladeshi migrants returned home from Iran on December 22 with the assistance of Mollick.
