Rafid Al-Hasan, 18, and Ayad Hasan, 18, left home with their passports on August 9, 2016. Families of the missing boys fear that the brothers have been brainwashed to militancy, as before leaving, Rafid left a note. Assistant commissioner of Dhaka Metropolitan Police Mirpur zone Alamgir Hossain said they were investigating why Ayad and Rifad had left home. Meanwhile, police have checked the immigration points and neither of the boys were found to have left the country. My son [Rifad] has always been sincere about religion.
