Summary:
"Our case was that Ahmed was the victim of a kidnapping and a kidnapped victim cannot be accused of a crime," he said. "The prosecution failed to prove their case," Ahmed's lawyer, SP Mahanta, said. Ahmed was then the BNP spokesman. However, Ahmed's counsel claimed that the politician had been kidnapped and spirited over the border. In the Khaleda Zia government, he had been the communications minister from 2001 to 2006..
