Insurance Worker Hira Lal Missing for Three Days After Vanishing from Mohakhali's TB Gate Area
Hira Lal (Manik), an employee of a private insurance company in Dhaka, has still not been found three days after he went missing. He disappeared last Tuesday from the TB Gate area of Mohakhali in the capital.
A general diary (GD) has been filed at Banani Police Station over the incident. According to the GD, Hira Lal went missing between 1pm and 1:30pm on Tuesday from the TB Gate area of Mohakhali.
His son, Rimon Lal, filed the GD at Banani Police Station the following day, Wednesday. Police have not yet been able to locate him.
Relatives said Hira Lal worked at an insurance company in the TB Gate area of Mohakhali. On Tuesday morning he left his home in Old Dhaka for his workplace, as he did every day.
According to relatives, he spoke to his wife by mobile phone at 11:56am that day and told her he would return home shortly. He never came home after that.
When family members later tried to reach him, they found his mobile phone switched off. Relatives then searched various possible places but found no trace of him.
Police said CCTV footage showed Hira Lal walking past the front of the former BRAC University in Mohakhali at around 1:30pm on Tuesday. He was not seen in the footage after that.
The GD's investigating officer, Banani Police Station Sub-Inspector Md Rezwanul Haq, said last night that Hira Lal's mobile phone remains switched off and that efforts to find him are continuing.
