The law enforcement agencies have failed to trace BNP Joint Secretary General Salahuddin Ahmed, who remains missing since Tuesday night.
Deputy Attorney General Md Bashir Ullah told the Dhaka Tribune that the law enforcement agencies mentioned in their reports that they could not find out the whereabouts of Salahuddin Ahmed.
Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP), Special Branch (SB) of Police, Criminal Investigation Department (CID), Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) and Police headquarters submitted reports to the attorney general's office on Sunday afternoon.
The High Court bench of Justice Quamrul Islam Siddiqui and Justice Gobinda Chandra Tagore on Thursday asked the government and the law enforcers to explain why they should not be directed to find Salahuddin and bring him before it by Sunday.
The order came following a petition filed by the wife of the BNP leader.
Police filed a general dairy with Uttara police station on Saturday over the disappearance of Salahuddin.
After visiting the spot, a house located in Uttara sector 3 where the BNP leader was staying, police said they had not found the allegations of Salahuddin’s wife to be true.
Earlier, Nagorik Oikya Convener Mahmudur Rahman Manna was picked up from a house in Banani area by some men identifying themselves as law enforcers on February 24.
Manna had remained missing for nearly 20 hours before the Rapid Action Battalion officially declared his arrest. RAB said they had arrested Manna an hour back and that they did not know where he had been earlier.
