A policeman has been taken into custody late on Tuesday night reportedly over an abduction charge brought against him by a lawyer.

A detained policeman was identified as Sub-Inspector (SI) Mohammad Nasir Uddin. He is attached with Cox's Bazar district unit of the police force.

Informed sources said that a squad from Hathazari police nabbed the accused police Sub-Inspector from Nandirhat in Hathazari at about 10:30 in the night when Advocate Abdul Maleq recorded an abduction case against him.

The complainant in his petition said that Sub-Inspector Mohammad Nasir Uddin kidnapped his daughter Farhana Yasmin Rina, a student of 3rd Year Honors of Fine Arts at Chittagong University, in the evening.

The detained Sub-Inspector Mohammad Nasir Uddin and the hostage Farhana Yasmin Rina were produced before the court of Chief Judicial Magistrate yesterday morning. The court ordered putting the cop into jail and the young woman to the safe custody.

Court sources said though Farhana's father recorded an abduction case with Hathazari police, Farhana did not charge the cop for abducting her. Police Sub-Inspector Nasir Uddin claimed that they had been in love for more than three years.
