The three stand accused of bribing authorities for reopening the English-medium school in Dhaka which the education ministry closed down last year following allegations of harbouring militancy. The ministry staffers at the heart of the controversy are the education minister’s aide Motaleb Hossain and Nasir Uddin, a so-called upper-division assistant. The ministry has ordered the Directorate of Secondary and Higher Secondary Education to execute the decision against Nasir who was working on deputation. Nasir is also the secretary general of the Secondary and Higher Secondary Government Staff and Officials' Welfare Forum. They reportedly went missing after being led away by “unidentified people” in Dhaka between Jan 18 and Jan 20.
