HC to decide on April 15
The High Court yesterday fixed April 15 for delivering verdict on a petition seeking an order on the government to form a judicial boy to probe into the disappearance of BNP leader Salahuddin Ahmed.
The HC fixed the date after hearing arguments on the petition filed by Salahuddin's wife Hasina Ahmed.
Hasina Ahmed said she has pleaded with the prime minister a number of times seeking her intervention in the search for Salahuddin who disappeared over a month ago.
According to Hasina, plainclothes picked up Salahuddin from a house in Uttara of the capital on March 10 and there has been no news of him since then.
During hearing yesterday, petitioner's counsel Moudud Ahmed told the HC that Salahuddin is alive and in custody of law enforcers.
Khandker Mahbub Hossain, another lawyer for Hasina, told the HC, citing a report of the investigation officer, that Rab personnel arrested Salahuddin's drivers Khokon and Shafique and personal assistant Md Osman Gani on March 7 in a bomb blast case.
He said Rab might have picked up Salahuddin on March 10 as he was accused in the same case.
Responding to a query of the HC on whether Salahuddin went into hiding, Khandker Mahbub Hossain said it was still the government's duty to locate him.
Additional Attorney General Momtaz Uddin Fakir opposed the prayer saying that law enforcers have been searching for Salahuddin.
