The captors of North South University teacher Mubashar Hasan were divided over whether to kill him or not, before finally freeing him early yesterday. The kidnappers also demanded money for his release, said Mubashar, sharing his experience of the 44-day captivity with journalists as he repeatedly fought back tears.

On the occasion of the sixth birthday of Ariyana, the only child of missing North South University teacher Mubashar, his sister Tamanna Tasmin penned a letter to the people of the world on social media network Facebook.
