Father of estranged husband detained over abduction of Rajshahi University student

Police have picked up the father of the estranged husband of a student of Rajshahi University over her abduction from the campus.

He was detained from their house at Patnitala in Naogaon on Friday night, Patnitala Police Station OC Mazharul Islam said.

"We've received some information on the whereabouts of the student after detaining him," the OC said. 

Proctor Lutfor Rahman said the abductors picked her up on a microbus in front of Taposhi Rabeya Hall on Thursday morning.

Her peers alleged that her 'former husband' had abducted her. 

They demonstrated on the campus against the abduction in the afternoon and laid a siege to the vice-chancellor's residence for over two hours demanding she be rescued.

The abducted student's father started a case against six people, including her 'former husband' over the abduction.

Proctor Lutfor said the student married the man from Naogaon in December last year. He is a student of a law college in Dhaka.

The Rajshahi University student divorced her husband in September this year, but he did not accept it, the proctor said.
