“I will sit with the five-member committee, formed to accelerate the search operation to rescue Siddique, and request them for providing security to my family,” Rizwana said.
She also thanked the state for getting back her husband within a short period of time.
Rizwana gave special thanks to the prime minister for directing the law enforcing agencies to take prompt action in rescuing her husband.
She said: “If the state had taken rapid action on the previous disappearance incidents of the country, this incident would not be happened.
Still, I appreciate the immediate action of the law enforcing agencies to rescue Siddique.”
“Such incidents of disappearance should not be continued in a civil and democratic country,” said Rizwana.
She hoped that the investigation committee would reveal the perpetrators of the abduction.
While answering the queries from journalists, Siddique said: “When I asked the abductors where I was? They replied, you [Siddique] are not new here.”
Siddique said the kidnappers were aged between 30 to 35 years.
Earlier in the afternoon, Siddique gave his deposition over his abduction before a Narayanganj court.
On Wednesday, Siddique, the lawyer-entrepreneur, was abducted by some unidentified miscreants on his way back to home from Narayanganj.
Later, the kidnappers of Abu Bakar Siddique released him in the early hours of Friday, after more than 30 hours of his abduction from Fatulla, Narayanganj.
