Doctor Iqbal Mahmud, who was picked up by unidentified people from Dhaka last year, has been found alive in Lakshmipur seven months later. “Miscreants dropped him on the Dhaka-Raipur road around 11:30pm on Wednesday,” his father AKM Nurul Alam told reporters. On October 14, 2016, Dr Iqbal was allegedly picked up by plain-clothed law enforcers from Dhanmondi’s Science Laboratory area. Then a highly placed source confirmed the Dhaka Tribune that Dr Iqbal had been picked up on suspicion of his alleged involvement with militancy. Iqbal’s father Nurul Alam sought Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina’s attention in finding his son, claiming that reports of his son’s involvement in militancy were false.
