Four of the abductors were also arrested on Thursday afternoon when they came at Tangail’s Kalihati Upazila to collect the ransom, police said.
Readymade garment worker ‘Arif’, 25, of Kalihati, was abducted from Dhaka’s Ashulia on Tuesday evening.
There has been a disturbing hike in abductions in recent times in Bangladesh.
Eight people were abducted only from Narayanganj in the past two weeks. One of them, husband of environmental lawyer Syeda Rizwana Hasan, was found alive nearly 35 hours later.
But seven others, abducted on Apr 27, including a Narayanganj City Corporation councillor were found dead.
Bodies of six of them were recovered on Wednesday from the Shitalakhya river while the other one was found on Thursday.
