Meanwhile, Didar Ahmmed, deputy inspector general (DIG) of Khulna Range, told journalists that Farhad Mazhar was brought to Fultola Police Station around 12am after his 'rescue' from a bus of 'Hanif Paribahan' at Nayapara in Abhaynagar upazila on Monday night.
The DIG said Mazhar was not kidnapped as he had gone out of his home 'on his own for a visit'.
