The High Court (HC) on Sunday wanted to know what steps were taken by the government to trace Dr Muhammad Iqbal Mahmud, a government physician, reportedly abducted from Dhanmondi, Dhaka on October 14.
The HC issued a rule also upon the government to explain in four weeks as to why their inaction to find out the abducted doctor should not be declared as negligence of duty, Deputy Attorney General Amatul Karim Swapna told the reporters.
The HC bench of Justice Tariq ul Hakim and Justice Md. Faruque (M. Faruque) passed the order after hearing a writ petition filed by Muhammad Iqbal Mahmud’s father A K M Nurul Alam on November 15.
Home Secretary, IGP, Director General (DG) of Rapid Action Battalion (RAB), Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) Commissioner, Officer-in-charge of Dhanmondi Police Station and five other people have been asked to respond to the rule within four weeks.
On October 14, Dr Iqbal Mahmud, a cadre of 28th BCS, came to Dhaka from Laxmipur by a bus in the morning to take part in a course at Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU).
The moment he had got down from the bus at Science Laboratory, a gang of 5/6 persons picked him up and fled the scene by a microbus.
The whole incident was recorded in a close circuit camera installed adjacent to the spot.
Victim’s father A K M Nurul Amin filed a case with Dhanmondi Police Station.
As police didn’t take any step to rescue his son, Nurul Amin filed a writ with the HC.
