The son of a top Bangladeshi war crimes convict was blindfolded and picked up by security officials from his residence here, his family claimed on Tuesday, amid an intensified vigil ahead of a Supreme Court verdict on the fate of another war crimes accused.
Abdullahil Aman Azmi, son of war criminal and ex-Jamaat-e-Islami Ameer Ghulam Azam, was blindfolded and picked up by some plainclothes men without an arrest warrant from his Boro Moghbazar residence in the capital last night, his family members were quoted as saying by local media.
Police, however, said they had no idea whether any other security agency had picked him up.
“We know nothing about the incident,” officer-in-charge of Ramna Police Station Mashiure Rahman told reporters. Azmi is the elder son of Ghulam Azam, the former head of Jamaat-e-Islami, who died two years ago in prison.
