A friend Aminur Islam had abducted Ajay on February 25 from Lakhipur. Later, he was handed over to a criminal gang. The abductors had demanded Rs 50 lakh ransom from Ajay�s family. After police arrested Sahidul, a member of the gang, he led the police to the spot where Ajay�s body was dumped. Ajay was drugged before he was killed mercilessly by poking with sharp weapon(s). Ajay was drugged and later he was killed. His abdomen was left cut-open so that it did not emanate any stink, the accused Sahidul told the police. After the body was recovered, police seized a laptop and sharp weapons from one Moinul�s residence near the spot. Moinul is absconding, a police officer said.
