Mohammad Mizanur Rahman, owner of a five-storey building located west of the court premises in Char Fasson municipal town of Bhola, has gone missing. His family said he left home for the local market on Sunday afternoon but did not return. His wife has expressed fears that he may have been abducted and sought the authorities’ intervention to rescue him.

Mizanur Rahman’s wife, Sultana Afroze, is an assistant teacher in the Mathematics Department of Charfasson Government T. Barrett Model Secondary School.

At a press conference at the Charfasson Press Club on Monday (September 14), Sultana Afroze said her husband left home for Charfasson market on Sunday afternoon. When he did not return by evening, family members tried calling him several times, but could not reach him. They later searched the market and several other possible locations but failed to find him. A general diary (GD) was subsequently filed with Char Fasson Police Station.

At the press conference, Sultana Afroze said her husband had been involved in a longstanding dispute with his brothers, Monir Hossain Bepari and Ali Akbar Bepari, over ownership of the five-storey building.

The family suspects that the dispute may be linked to his disappearance. She urged the law enforcement agencies to take effective measures to locate and rescue her husband as soon as possible.

Several attempts were made to contact Mizanur Rahman’s brother Monir Hossain Bepari by phone for his comments, but he did not answer the calls.

Charfasson Police Station Officer-in-Charge (OC) Mahmud Al Farid Bhuiyan said Mizanur Rahman’s wife had filed a GD at the police station. “Police are making efforts to locate and rescue the missing person,” he said.
