The High Court has begun hearing the writ petition filed over the disappearance of BNP Joint Secretary General Salahuddin Ahmed.
The High Court bench of Justice Quamrul Islam Siddiqui and Justice Gobinda Chandra Tagore started the court's proceedings around pm Wednesday.
Earlier on March 15, the same HC bench fixed April 8 for the hearing, responding to time petition.
On March 12, the HC bench 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.
Following the order, 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 March 15.
On March 10, BNP Joint Secretary General Salahuddin Ahmed was allegedly picked up by law enforcement officials from his relative’s Uttara residence, his family claims.
Police filed a general dairy with Uttara police station on March 14 over the disappearance of the BNP leader.
Since his disappearance, law enforcement agencies including the police, Criminal Investigation Department (CID) and Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) have claimed ignorance of Salahuddin’s whereabouts.
Law enforcers earlier claimed that Salahuddin was not at the Uttara house that night.
