The body of a four-year-old child who was thrown into river Shitalakhya by kidnappers was recovered on Wednesday, four days after he was abducted for ransom.
Fire Service and Civil Defence and Rapid Action Battalion personnel recovered the body of Mohammad Jihad, son of Aktar Hossain, while it was floating on the river a few hundred yards off Kanchpur bridge under Shiddhirganj thana.
RAB said they started search for the body in the river based on confessional statement of the kidnappers.
Six of the abductors were arrested on Tuesday when they came to collect ransom and confessed that that they had thrown the child into the river in an unconscious state.
Jihad was abducted from his house at Dharmaganj in Narayanganj on June 26 and the kidnappers held him, demanding a ransom of Tk 3 lakh.
Jihad's mother Masuda Akter on June 27 went with the ransom money to Chashara Shahid Minar premises but the criminals did not turn up. She informed RAB of the matter.
When the kidnappers again contacted her for the money, she went to Chashara Shahid Minar again with Tk 1 lakh.
RAB personnel, who were hiding in disguise, managed to capture three of the group when they were getting away with the money.
On June 28, Jihad's mother Masuda Akter filed an abduction case accusing the arrested six and it now turned into a murder case, said officer-in-charge of Fatulla thana.
Investigation officer sub-inspector Shahidul Islam said the accused were produced before the court with prayer for seven days' remand for interrogation.
Jihad had a friend named Walid who is son of a kidnapper Wasim.
After a day of kidnapping on June 27, Jihad being in custody of kidnappers at Bhuigar area under Fatulla thana recognized his friend's father and asked him, 'Uncle, are you the father of Walid?' Then the criminals decided to kill Jihad and conceal body out of fear of being identified.
