RUET ‘s Chhatra League leader Saifuzzaman Sohag, whose family said he was picked up from his Rajshahi home has been found in Chittagong. The family, which has earlier claimed he was picked up by RAB personnel, said on Wednesday that Sohag contacted them from his phone around 4am from Chittagong. His father Akkas Uz Zaman said that the ‘abductors’ abandoned him at Mirsarai at the early hours of Wednesday.“Some locals arranged his journey to Dhaka. Our relatives there received him at Dhaka’s Kamalapur. They have started for Rajshahi with Sohag after 1pm,” he told bdnews24.com According to Zaman, Sohag’s physical condition is ‘not good’. Police, however, said they were not aware of Sohag’s resurfacing. “We have no knowledge on this,” Mirsarai police OC Imtiaz Bhuiyan told bdnews24.com. Sohag, a mechanical engineering student at the Rajshahi University of Engineering and Technology, is said to have been taken away from his home in the city’s Rajparha area early on Dec 10. He is the information and research secretary of the Bangladesh Chhatra League’s RUET unit. The family says he was picked up by people claiming to be from the Rapid Action Battalion (RAB). But RAB had denied they nabbed Sohag or had any plans to do that. The local police also said they had no knowledge of Sohag being detained. — Rajshahi University Correspondent, bdnews24.com
