Two missing persons found

The two persons -- son of a police officer and a businessman -- who remained missing in the city for a few days, were found yesterday.

Omar Faruque (34), an air-conditioner trader, who went missing from Moghbazar on Sunday, was found near Postogola Bridge in Keraniganj yesterday evening. He was blindfolded and his hands and legs were tied up, his brother Sarwar Jahan Mamun told The Daily Star last night.

 Mamun said unknown people whisked his brother into a microbus when he was on his way home near Hatirjheel from Moghbazar area. The abductors took Tk 11 lakh he had, and left him yesterday evening.

Meanwhile, Mazharul Islam Aronno (13), son of police sub-inspector Abdul Motalib Bhuiyan, returned home yesterday.

Motalib said his son actually went to his friend’s house in Narayanganj on Saturday fearing scolding from parents, as he did not attend coaching classes.

He came to another friend’s house near Bashabo, from where his parents took him home.
