RAB hands over bank manager Nizam to his family

Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) on Friday handed over bank manager Nizam Uddin after being rescued from his abductors.

Imran Khan, assistant superintendent of police (ASP) of the RAB headquarters media wing, confirmed the matter in the morning.

Earlier on Thursday night, the RAB members rescued the bank manager from Bathel Para area of Bandarban through mediation, he said.

On Thursday afternoon, Nizam Uddin’s wife, Nazmul Nahar, said armed separatist group Kuki-Chin National Front (KNF) demanded Tk 15 lakh from his family as ransom.

The separatist group kidnapped the Sonali Bank’s Ruma upazila branch manager on Tuesday, April 2, and tried to loot Tk 1.5 crore from the vault of the Ruma branch. Unable to take the money, they kidnapped the bank manager.

They also carried out robberies at Sonali Bank and Krishi Bank branches in Thanchi upazila of Bandarban on Wednesday.
