The High Court today (December 27) wanted to know the whereabouts of two BNP men in Bogura who went missing allegedly after being detained by law enforcers on December 14.

The court asked the inspector general of police to submit a report on the whereabouts of the two, Anwar Hossain Hridoy and Delwar Hossain, before it by January 4, 2023. 

The HC bench of Justice Abu Taher Md Saifur Rahman and Justice Md Bashir Ullah passed the order. 

Besides, the court also issued a rule asking the respondents to explain in three weeks why they should not be ordered to produce them before this court so that the court can be satisfied that they were not detained illegally.

Earlier on December 26, two separate writ petitions were filed with the High Court seeking its orders on the authorities concerned of the government to find out the whereabouts of Anwar and Delwar who went missing allegedly after being detained by law enforcers on December 14.

Anwar's nephew Nurunnabi and Delwar's son Sajjad Hossain submitted the petitions through lawyer Kayser Kamal.

The petitioner claimed that law enforcers reportedly detained them at different places in Kahalu upazila on December 14 but they were not produced before any court till December 25. 

In the petition, they also said that separate general diaries were lodged with the police station concerned in Bogura, but the law enforcers are yet to find out their whereabouts.
