NAZRUL ISLAM

Nazrul Islam was the President of Bangladesh Nationalist Party-BNP, Boalkhali Upazila, Chattogram and Chairman of Koroldenga Union Parishad. 

According to Nazrul Islam’s older brother, Zahidul Haque, Islam was traveling from Dhaka to Chittagong by bus on November 5, 2010 and was abducted when the vehicle was waiting for traffic to clear. Haque said that the driver of the microbus told him he had stopped on Chowrasta-Joydebpur road, waiting for a traffic jam to clear on his way from Farmgate to Gazipur when a group of four or five armed men forced Islam to disembark, and pushed him onto another microbus. Eyewitnesses on the bus told Haque that the men claimed to be from the Rapid Action Battalion-RAB.
