A lawyer has withdrawn a case he had filed against RAB personnel seven
months back, accusing the force of abducting his son, after getting his
trace.
Metropolitan magistrate Roksana Begum Happy on Monday accepted the case withdrawal application by Md Khabiruddin.
Khabiruddin lodged the case on May 31 accusing that two RAB, two jail officials and four other unknown people abducted his son Toufique Hasan, a second-year student of Stamford University.
The officials are RAB-10 deputy director Mohammad Harun and flight lieutenant Mohammad Imon, Dhaka Central Jail senior jailer Touhidul Islam and deputy jailer Md Imran Hossan.
Toufique was arrested along with two others with posters of banned Islamist outfit Hizb ut-Tahrir on Feb 22 from the city's Siddheshwari Balur Math area. A case was filed against the three with the Ramna Police Station the same day under anti-terrorism law.
A number of people were picked up by plain-clothes people identifying themselves to be RAB personnel late last year from different parts of the country. Bodies of some of them were found later, prompting human rights organisations to express concern.
RAB, however, denied their involvement in any 'secret killing'.
'NO SATISFACTORY ANSWER'
Khabiruddin in his case withdrawal application said he found his son attending his (Toufique's) grandma's death anniversary programme at Teghoria village in Manikganj district on Dec 26.
He told : "When I asked my son about his mission, I did not get any satisfactory answer from him."
He said Toufique is now with his mother at a Siddeshwari apartment.
Khabiruddin said in the case that following the arrest, his son had secured bail on May 13 but RAB personnel, in plain clothes, had picked him up from the jail gate.
"A group of four to five people dragged Toufique into a microbus as soon as he came out of the jail at 10pm," he said.
The Chief Metropolitan Magistrate's Court of Dhaka had ordered departmental investigation into the abduction.
