They sought the help of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina to ensure that Shourav is found unharmed. In a post on his Facebook page two days ago, Sohel Taj, who served as a state minister in the Awami League government of 2009, alleged that Shourav had been abducted, suspecting the involvement of a state institution in doing so. Asked about the matter, he said, "Our main focus right now is to get him (Shourav) back alive and unharmed. "The number belongs to someone in Dhaka and the report further said that the person was an official of a government organisation." Sohel Taj added that he personally informed the matter to the home minister and the police chief.
