Police is yet to unearth the mystery of reported missing of DCC ward councillor and BNP leader Chowdhury Alam, reports UNB.
According to Alam's family, members of the law enforcing agency arrested him from city's Indira Road (Garments Goli) while he was going to a relative's house by his car on June 25 night.
However, the law enforcing agencies, including police and RAB denied his arrest.
A general diary (GD) was filed with the Sher-e-Bangla Nagar police station stating the incident on June 30. On July 1, a case was filed with the same police station under sections 341 (wrongful restraint) and 365 (kidnapping or abducting with intent to confinement) of the Penal Code implicating 5-6 persons.
Talking to reporters after monthly Crime Conference at Rajarbagh police line, DMP Commissioner AKM Shahidul Haq Thursday said that the case was being now investigated by detectives.
Replying to a question he said that they had no information whether Chowdhury Alam was alive or not. However, he expressed the hope that the incident would be digged out soon.
Meanwhile, the DMP Commissioner said that crimes had significantly reduced in June compared to May as police has been showing zero tolerance to tackling crimes.
He also said that the number of filing of cases also decreased in June compared to May as a number of minor complaints were resolved through local arbitration by community police.
A total of 1891 cases were filed with 41 police stations in the capital in June while the figure was 2050 in May.
According to DMP crime statistics, a total 17 people were killed in June, while the figure was 26 in May and the number was 29 in June last year.
