Bangladeshi army personnel have rescued five businessmen who were held captive and tortured in a makeshift torture cell at a student hostel in Sajiara village, within Magura’s municipal area. The captors were demanding a ransom of 1 million taka. One suspect, identified as Ishtiaq Ahmed Shanto—reportedly the nephew of a BNP leader—has been detained. Sources say Shanto lured the businessmen to the location on Tuesday evening and held them hostage. When they said they couldn’t afford the ransom, he, along with 7–8 accomplices, allegedly tortured them throughout Tuesday night and intermittently on Wednesday.
