“The case dossier will soon be sent to DB from Adabar Police Station,” DMP Deputy Commissioner Biplab Kumar Sarker told bdnews24.com on Wednesday.
Mazhar’s wife lodged a complaint with Adabar Police Station in the capital on Monday. Police documented the complaint as a case the next day.
Mazhar, who is known to be a staunch critic of the government and a rightist activist, mysteriously disappeared from home at Dhaka’s Shyamoli on Monday.
His family claimed he was abducted. Following the allegation, police started a search and found him on a bus heading back to Dhaka from Jessore the same night.
The bus was stopped at Jessore’s Nayapara when both RAB and police found the poet sitting on a rear seat of the bus.

After what appeared to be a rescue, Mazhar was taken to DB headquarters the next morning for questioning and then released following a court order. Relatives admitted him to a Dhaka hospital at night.
In the case, the columnist's wife Farida Akhter said Mazhar called her from his phone at 5:29am and quoted her husband as saying: "'They are taking me away, they will kill me.'"
She received four more calls from Mazhar throughout the day when he told her to manage Tk 3.5 million as ransom.
At the DB headquarters, Mazhar said he went out early in the morning to buy medicines when a group of people forced him into a waiting microbus.
Police said there was no sign of abduction.
