Mir Ahmad Bin Quasem, the younger son of executed Jamaat-e-Islami leader Mir Quasem Ali, on Tuesday filed a complaint with the enforced disappearance commission.

Supreme Court lawyer Mujahidul Islam Shahin submitted the allegation to the commission on behalf of Mir Ahmed Bin Quasem who was kept confined in a secret detention cell, also known as ‘Aynaghor’, for eight years.


Accepting the allegation, enforced disappearance commission member Nur Khan Liton told journalists that they would conduct a probe into the allegation.

According to the allegation, on August 9, 2016, seven to eight people forcibly took Mir Ahmed Bin Quasem away at gunpoint from his house in the capital, and they kept him confined for eight years in the secret cell.

Mir Ahmed also said that he became a victim of enforced disappearance four weeks before the execution of his father, Mir Quasem Ali.

He also alleged that law enforcement agencies did not help his family find him after his enforced disappearance incident.  

The government on August 27, formed a five-member inquiry commission to identify and find the people who were disappeared between January 1, 2010, and August 5, 2024.
