One of the abducted individuals managed to escape, and three others were rescued by locals from the hilly area of Dhala.
The rescued are Anwarul Islam, a CNG driver from Whykong union, Zafar Alam of Jhimongkhali, and Md Abdullah and Md Salim from the Baharchhara area of Teknaf, the inspector said.
A rescue operation is currently underway to recover the remaining four victims, whose identities have yet to be confirmed, he added.

The abductors have demanded Tk 50 lakh for his release, according to Atiqur’s relatives.
