Probe into possible kidnapping of Joy in US demanded

Senior treasury bench members demanded on Sunday further investigation into the information gathering on Sajeeb Wazed Joy, son of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, in the US to kidnap and harm him and his family members and taking legal steps against the BNP high command promptly, reports UNB.
They also requested Deputy Speaker Advocate Fazle Rabbi Mia, who was presiding over the session, to give necessary directives to the Ministry of Law (MoL) in this connection.
Commerce Minister Tofail Ahmed initiated the debate taking the floor on a point of order. Awami League senior leader Suranjit Sengupta, Industries Minister Amir Hossain, Amu, Agriculture Minister Matia Chowdhury, State Minister for Foreign Affairs M Shahriar Alam, JSD leader Mainuddin Khan Badal and Abdul Matin Khasru took part in the debate.
At one stage, the Chair of the House said there should be further investigation into the matter.
He said Joy brought many pieces of good news for Bangladesh through his activities.
Suranjit Sengupta said it is not the MoL but the Ministry of Home Affairs would have to be directed for further investigation in this connection.
Since the BNP high command's name is mentioned, steps should be taken as all know the BNP high command means Khaleda Zia and Tarique Rahman, he said.
The AL leader said Joy was supposed to be kidnapped for killing and such many incidents take place in the USA in exchange for money.
Tofail Ahmed said those involved in the incident should be arrested and the government must meet out exemplary punishment to them.
A US court, according to media reports, sentenced two persons, including a Bangladeshi, over a bribery scheme for collecting information on Joy to kidnap and harm Joy and his family members.
