Monirul Islam said that Mohaiminul recently advertised online for selling mobile set. The abductors contacted with Mohaiminul on the pretension of purchasing the mobile set.
Earlier on July 22, the abductors in disguise of buyers went to collect the mobile set in the Shekhertek area. While one abductor was bargaining with Mohaiminul about the price, others abducted him picking up in a microbus.
