Strange disclosure of information by CID

On February 3, 2016, it was reported in TDS that a Bangladeshi expatriate (Shahidullah) was kidnapped in South Africa and that the abductor's local agent in Bangladesh, Akhter, had contacted the victim's mother with a ransom demand of Tk. 25 lakh. After negotiation, the family agreed to pay Tk. 5 lakh, and a time and place was fixed for the ransom drop-off. Our CID police apprehended Akhter soon after he collected the money from the drop-off point. On interrogation, Akhter told the CID where Shahidullah was being held and they passed on the information to the SA police. Now, one would have thought that the obvious course of action for the CID would have been to wait for confirmation from the SA police that the victim had been rescued before going public with the news. But that is not what happened. Didn't CID realise that they were seriously jeopardising the rescue effort by this premature disclosure? I hope TDS will follow up on this news and inform us of future developments.
