<i>Who's driver? Where's he?</i>

The whereabouts of the driver of Suranjit Sengupta's assistant personal secretary remain a mystery since he drove the microbus into the Border Guard Bangladesh headquarters on April 9 night and blew the whistle about bribe money being carted.
It is also unclear why no case has been filed since the Tk 70 lakh scam surfaced although the minister has resigned, the APS has been sacked and two railway officials suspended.
The BGB claimed driver Ali Azam Khan was released the following day, but he seems to have vanished.
Suspended security commandant of Dhaka divisional railway Enamul Huq, who also was detained by the BGB men, told The Daily Star at his Kamalapur Railway Station office on April 11 that the BGB did not release Azam.
Azam's family fears he has been liquidated to cover up the crime. Azam is a key witness to the whole saga.
His father Dudu Mia told The Daily Star yesterday that he was unaware of the whereabouts of his son.
Azam is a close friend of the sacked APS Omar Faruq, a friend of Faruq told this paper on condition of anonymity.
Faruq went to the Jahangirnagar University to pursue higher education but Azam discontinued studies.
Later, when Faruq became the APS, he asked Azam to become his driver, Faruq's friend added.
The two were "very close" and this could explain why Azam dared to demand part of the Tk 70 lakh reportedly obtained from recruitment business in the railway ministry over the last few months.
This paper has also learnt from Faruq's relative that Azam was "angry" with Faruq as the latter refused to entertain a request by Azam for appointment of a few candidates of his choice.
"Faruq tore up the list of people Azam gave him. He also threatened to sack Azam," Faruq's relative said.
An enraged Azam, who witnessed the graft Faruq had been committing, finally spilled the beans late on April 9 night -- driving the microbus into the Pilkhana headquarters in the capital and hollering that there was illegal money stashed in the vehicle.
