BNP Vice-Chairman Shamsher Mobin Chowdhury Bir Bikram said filing of two cases against the 'missing' BNP Sylhet Division Organising Secretary Ilias Ali was mysterious. The cases were lodged with Biswanath Police Station under Ilias's constituency in the district just in hours after he went missing in the capital. "The government may produce him at any time in those cases, we are afraid," he added. Mobin was addressing a view exchange meeting with journalists at Malancha Community Centre at Kumarpara in the city yesterday. With the number of missing and killing incidents went up recently like the post '72 regime, people were in great trouble. Although neither the Rakkhi Bahini nor BAKSAL existed now, the nation was experiencing the same unusual situation across the country, he said. Marking the missing of Jatiyatabadi Chhatra Dal (JCD) activist Iftekhar Ahmed Dinar since April 3, he said such incidents were on the rise but the government had remained indifferent to the issue, adding that it was clear that the government was involved in those. Mobin further said the government had failed to unearth the mystery of Saudi embassy official killing. Similarly, investigation of the journalist couple Sagor-Runi killing remained in 'mystery' due to unknown reasons.
