The case alleges that on December 27 in 2018, Md Touhidul Islam Chowdhury was abducted from his residence on Elephant Road by individuals in plain clothes.
After being held incommunicado for two days, he was falsely implicated in two cases and sent to jail on December 29.
Although he later received bail and attempted to report the matter to the police, his complaint was not registered as a General Diary (GD).
