The Rapid Action Battalion-9 in Kishoreganj yesterday rescued a boy, who was missing in a kidnap drama plotted alleged by his mother and her paramour.

Asma Akter Happy, mother of the boy Asaduzzaman Pony (13), in her attempt to break away from her husband Abul Bashar plotted the kidnap drama to grab a lump sum amount from the boy's expatriate father.

She informed Abul Bashar over phone that their only son was kidnapped by unknown miscreants, who were demanding Tk 15 lakh as ransom.

Happy also lodged a general diary in this connection with the local police station. However, Rab-9 was able to unearth the secret and rescued the boy.

A Rab-9 team, led by its deputy commander Ali Ashraf Bhuyian, also arrested Happy, her fiancé Milon Mian and one other Arif Khan, who were involved in the plot, the elite force told journalists.
