A case was filed on Thursday against 10 people, including ousted prime minister Sheikh Hasina鈥檚 security affairs adviser major general (retired) Tarique Ahmed Siddique, allegedly for abducting, plotting to forcibly disappear and ultimately killing colonel (retired) Md Tauhidul Islam Chowdhury.
Tauhidul, chief of the personal security team of Bangladesh Nationalist Party chairperson Khaleda Zia, filed the complaint with the court of Dhaka metropolitan magistrate Md Zakir Hossain.
The court after recording statement of the complainant, asked New Market police station to file the matter as a first information report.
The other accused in the case are former director general of Directorate General of Forces Intelligence lieutenant general (retired) Md Saiful Alam, major general (sacked) Ziaul Ahsan, Md Abdul Baten, Md Mokhlesur Rahman, Golam Mostafa Russel, Golam Saqlain, Mahmud Naser Jony, Md Abu Azif and Sirajul Islam Khan.
Colonel (retired) Tauhidul Islam was picked up by plainclothes security officials from his Elephant Road house on December 27, 2018. He was sent to jail under two fake cases after keeping him confined in a secret place for two days.
When Tauhidul finally came out of jail on bail, police did not even bother to record a general diary over his detention and confinement.
