Dhaka: Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal has claimed that no one is being disappeared in the country, rather people are hiding themselves over personal issues.
He made the claim while replying a quarry of journalists at Sagor-Runi Conference Centre of Dhaka Reporters Unity in the capital on Tuesday.
Referring to some recent cases of disappearances and missing, the minister said: “We went through some complaints of disappearances and after investigation, we found they hid themselves for serving their own interests.”
About the leaked conversation of Teknaf Municipality Councillor Akramul Haque killing which raised questions about the ongoing anti-drug operation, the minister said: “The government strongly discourages any kind of extra-judicial killing by state forces. Tough action will be taken if anyone found guilty in the incident of Akramul killing.”
“DIG Mizan was suspended after the investigation report found his involvement with illegal activities. Every criminal will have to face punishment,” he added.
While commenting on the ongoing anti-narcotics drives, the home minister said: “Anti-drug operation will continue until the selling and use of drug are uprooted from the country.”
