Executed war criminal and BNP leader Salauddin Quader Chowdhury’s younger son Hummam Quader Chowdhury returned home on early Friday, nearly seven months after he had gone missing.

Contracted, his uncle and BNP leader Giasuddin Quader Chowdhury confirmed that his nephew came back home.

‘Some unidentified people dropped Hummam near a mosque on the bank of Dhanmondi Lake in the city around 2:30am last night (Thursday night). Later, he came home from there,’ Giasuddin said.

Asked who actually picked him up and set free, the BNP leader said Hummam still did not tell them anything in this regard as he was very exhausted.

On August 4 last year, Hummam’s family and lawyers alleged that Detective Branch (DB) of police Hummam up from the court area in Old Dhaka.

Hummam’s counsel Advocate Ragib Galib had claimed that 3-4 plainclothes men introducing themselves to be DB members detained Hummam as he along with his mother, Farhat Quader Chowdhury, got down their vehicle near Dhaka Metropolitan Sessions Judges Court building on that day.

Hummam and his mother went to the court to attend a hearing in a case against them filed under the ICT Act in connection with the leakage of the draft judgement on executed war criminal Salauddin Quader Chowdhury.

Law enforcers, however, denied the allegation saying they have no information about Hummam’s arrest.

On November 22, 2015, condemned war criminal Salauddin Quader Chowdhury was hanged at Dhaka Central Jail for the atrocities he had committed during the Liberation War in 1971.

BNP made Hummam a member of its executive committee last year.
