Bangladesh Nationalist Party chairperson Khaleda Zia on Tuesday asked the government to place Salahuddin Ahmed before court or to send him back to his family.

She said this while Hasina Ahmed, wife of Salahuddin Ahmed, together with her two children, called on the BNP chairperson in her Gulshan office in Dhaka at about 7:45pm.

After the meeting, Hasina Ahmed told reporters: ‘Khaleda Zia consoled my children. She agreed that law enforcers picked Salahuddin Ahmed up from the house.’

Earlier on later afternoon, a group of Dhaka University teachers visited Salahuddin Ahmed’s house in Gulshan. They talked to Hasina Ahmed about the disappearance of Salahuddin. Hasina Ahmed said no police officer, but a single sub-inspector, visited the family in eight days Salahuddin Ahmed went missing.

Professor Yusuf Haider urged the government to find out Salahuddin Ahmed.

Salahuddin Ahmed’s family complained that the BNP leader was picked up by plain clothes form a house at Uttara in Dhaka on 10 March. The law enforcers, however, brushed aside the allegations.
