Where is the driver?
Railway Minister Suranjit Sengupta had to leave office after only five months in it. He had to step down by the instruction of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina for Tk 70 lakh found in the microbus of his APS, alleged to be bribe money from the job-seekers.
At first, the case seemed to be a simple one, a disgruntled driver spilling the beans. After entering the BGB Headquarters, the driver Ali Azam attracted the attention of the BGB personnel anout the money in the vehicle. Now the disappearance of the main actor seems very strange. No one knows where he is. We learned from the newspapers that his family has become distraught as Ali Azam did not contact them. BGB said that he was released the next day, but Commandant Enamul Huq, who was also in the microbus and was detained by the BGB, said that BGB did not release Azam. It's very fishy…what could have happened to him?
People want to know the truth. The government must make everything clear through holding an effective investigation without delay.
