Dulal Mia, who was abducted from the border area of Alikadam in Bandarban nine days ago, has been rescued from Myanmar-based drug traffickers. Authorities secured his release without paying the demanded ransom of Tk 2.5 million. He was abducted on June 3 while selling cattle in the Gorjanpara area. Dulal’s companion, Mohammad Zainal, narrowly escaped abduction. According to Kurukpata UP Chairman Kratpong Mro, the kidnappers claimed the abduction was in retaliation for a previous incident in which locals allegedly robbed them of Tk 2.5 million worth of yaba tablets.
