Until yesterday, police were clueless about Hassan’s whereabouts. They went through surveillance cameras in the neighbourhood but could not reach any definitive conclusion.
Hassan is one of the founders of the DBCCI, established in November 1999, and he has been involved in advocating bilateral trade between Bangladesh and the Netherlands.
He was residing on the third floor of the six-storey building in Dhanmondi House 45, Road 4/A over the last three years with his wife and daughter.
