A Dhaka magistrate has ordered departmental investigation into the abduction of a university student allegedly by Rapid Action Battalion members.

Dhaka's chief metropolitan magistrate M A Salam on Tuesday gave the order after taking the testimony of plaintiff Mohammad Khabir Uddin, father of Towfique Ahmed Hasan, a second-year student at Stamford University.

Earlier in the day, Khabir filed a case against four RAB-10 officers charging them with picking his son up from Dhaka Central Jail gate.

Hasan was arrested along with two others with posters of the banned Islamist outfit Hizb ut-Tahrir on Feb 22 from the city's Siddheshwari Balur Math area.

He secured bail on May 13 in the case filed following the arrest, but Khabir, quoting police and jail sources, claimed that RAB personnel, in plain clothes, picked up his son.

"A group of four to five people dragged Hasan into a microbus as soon as he came out of the jail at 10pm," Khabir said.

In his case details, he made deputy assistant director Mohammad Harun, Flight Lieutenant Mohammad Emon, Dhaka Central Jail senior superintendent Touhidul Islam and its deputy jailer Mohammad Imran Hossain accused of concealing his son.
