'Missing' BNP leader Sadat shown arrested
Syed Sadat Ahmed, a central BNP leader, who had allegedly been missing for around four months, was shown arrested last night.
A team of Detective Branch of Police “arrested him at Rampura Bridge around 10:00pm” and showed him arrested in a case filed in 2015 with Ramna Police Station in connection with carrying out subversive activities, Deputy Commissioner of DB (South) Md Shahidullah told The Daily Star.
He would be produced before a court today, he said.
A laptop, three mobile phones, and some bank documents were in his possession, the police official added.
Family members had alleged that Sadat, a central executive committee member of the BNP and the managing director of ABN Group, was picked up from the Banani Flyover area around 3:00pm on August 22.
The Daily Star could not contact Sadat's family last night.
The arrest of Sadat comes just over a week after Bangladesh Kalyan Party Secretary General MM Aminur Rahman, who had been missing for around four months, was shown arrested in a case filed in 2015 under the Explosive Substances Act.
Since August 22, at least 12 people had gone missing from the capital. Five of them have since returned while police later said to have arrested four others. Those still missing include ex-ambassador Maroof Zaman.
