District Jatiyatabadi Chhatra Dal (JCD) President Mashiur Rahman Roni reportedly went missing from the capital on Saturday night, reports UNB. Roni's brother Mohibur Rahman Rana claimed that Detective Branch of police picked the JCD leader from Rampura in the capital around 11:30pm. He said an unidentified person called him over his phone on Saturday night telling him that a group of 8-9 people identifying them as DB picked Roni up in a black microbus.
Since then, Roni’s mobile phone was found switched off. Manjur Quader, OC of Fatullah Model Police Station, said they did not arrest Roni, an accused in 12 cases. Meanwhile, city BNP vice-president Advocate Sakhawat Hossain claimed that Roni was 'kidnapped' as part of political vengeance. He, at a local press meet, demanded that the JCD leader be returned to his family safely.
