A Tripura teenage boy has reportedly been abducted
from Rangapani Tea Garden, Hazarikhil, Noluapara area of Ward 6 under
Harualchari Union, Bhujpur police station, Fatikchhari Upazila of Chattogram
district.
The incident is said to have taken place on Saturday
night, August 9, 2025.
The abducted boy has been identified as Saju Kumar
Tripura (17), son of Dilip Kumar Tripura, a resident of Rangapani Tea Garden.
Following the incident, Saju’s father, Dilip Kumar
Tripura, filed a written complaint at the Bhujpur Police Station against three
unidentified individuals.
In his complaint, he stated that around 10:00 PM on
Saturday night, his elder son Raju Tripura (18) and younger son Saju Kumar
Tripura (17) had closed their shop and gone to sleep inside the grocery store
after dinner.
At around 10:30 PM, three unknown men came to the
shop, identifying themselves as police officers, and asked for the shop to be
opened.
Both sons woke up and opened the shop. They saw that
one of the men was in a police uniform, while the other two were in civilian
clothes. After the shop was opened, the three individuals bought betel leaves
and cigarettes from the brothers.
Thereafter, the man in the police uniform told Saju
Kumar Tripura that he needed to come with them to show the house of a suspect.
Believing them to be genuine police officers, and out of respect for the law,
Saju stepped out of the shop with them. He was then forcibly taken and pushed
into a white private car and abducted.
When Saju screamed, his elder brother Raju rushed
outside and saw them driving southward toward the main road with Saju in the
car.
Raju then called his father and informed him of the
incident. The father rushed to the scene, gathered details, and then contacted
Bhujpur Police Station. However, the police could not provide any information
about his son.
Later, he formally filed a complaint at the station.
There are allegations that the police did not take
immediate action to nab the abductors.
Meanwhile, three hours after the abduction, the
kidnappers called the victim’s family from an unknown mobile number and
demanded a ransom of 4 million Taka (40 lakhs). They allegedly threatened that
if the ransom was not delivered to a specific location by 10:00 AM on Sunday,
they would kill Saju.
Family members and relatives have urged the
authorities to immediately rescue Saju Kumar Tripura and arrest the abductors
to bring them to justice.
