Schoolboy Inzamul Haque Sumon who was kidnapped by the miscreants from Tongi in Gazipur district was found dead yesterday, after ten days of his abduction. Miscreants killed him brutally by strangulation.

Class VI student Suman of Srishti Central School in Uttara of Dhaka, the son of Lebanon expatriate Shafiuddin Mollah of Awpara under Tongi thana in Gazipur district, was killed as his family had failed to pay Tk 10 lakh as ransom to his abductors.

The victim's family hailed from Laxmisusan village under Dohar thana in Dhaka district.

Elite Rapid Action Battalion (RAB-11) arrested four suspects in this connection. They were identified as Abdul Hannan, Mohammad Sumon, Kalu Miah and Alamgir Hossain.

Family sources said Sumon was abducted when he came out of their Tongi residence on October 17 afternoon for playing. Later, the abductors demanded Tk 10 lakh over phone as ransom. As his family failed to meet their demand, the miscreants killed him.

RAB sources said that acting on a tip-off, they arrested Hannan, Sumon, Kalu and Alamgir from different places in Tongi and Uttara. And following their confessions, RAB members led by first class magistrate Kazi Abed Hossain recovered Sumon's body, hidden under the earth, from an under construction building in Awpora area.

During interrogation, the adductors admitted that they strangulated Suman to death for the failure of his family to meet their demand.

The body was sent to the hospital morgue for autopsy.
