DU Teacher's 'Abduction'
No reality yet to be found
Police are yet to find any reality behind the "abduction" of Dhaka University teacher Dr Nuruddin Alo, who reappeared on his own at Khagrachhari Police Station on Wednesday after 42 hours of his alleged abduction.
Alo, a lecturer of Political Science department, was undergoing treatment at Khagrachhari Adhunik Sadar Hospital under police supervision, reports our Khagrachhari correspondents.
Acting SP of Khagrachhari Abdus Salam told The Daily Star that they could not get enough information about "abduction" of the teacher who went on missing on Monday from the city's Uttra.
The police officer said, "We have interrogated the teacher but he could not memorise the abduction [incident] properly." Most of the conversations, he made, were "irrelevant," said the SP.
Police requested the Dhaka University authorities and Sahabagh Police Station to bring back the teacher to Dhaka.
OC of Sahabagh police Sirajul Islam told The Daily Star that the activities of the teacher bear testimony to his mental instability.
"So, we fear to take responsibility of him," OC said adding, "We have requested the university authorities to take over the responsibility of the teacher."
DU Proctor Prof MA Ali said the university authorities would send representative to bring back Alo shortly.
Earlier, the teacher on Monday sent a text message from his mobile number to his student Enamul Haque Emu saying, “They have kidnapped me. Please do something for me."
Later, Emu filed a GD with Shahbagh police.
The DU teacher reappeared on his own at a Khagrachhari Police Station on Wednesday and claimed to police that he had been abducted and tortured, but he somehow managed to escape. Police then sent him to Dighinala upazila hospital for treatment. Two hours later, he narrated to police and the media the story of his abduction.
Alo at the police station claimed that his two colleagues--Prof ASM Maksud Kamal of geology department and Associate Prof Amrain Hussain of political science department-- and Syedul Bakin, uncle of a woman, who earlier at a press conference claimed to be Alo's wife, abducted him from the capital's Uttara area on Monday evening.
In separate statement, Maksud Kamal and Amrain Hussain yesterday refuted the allegation said the news items published in different media involving them with the "so-called abduction" of Dr Alo was false, baseless and motivated.
Sources said the teacher was in an altercation with a female physician named Nurun Nahar, hailing from Chittagong.
