He informed that all the times the eyes of his son were tied with a piece of cloth tightly and he was kept in a small room.
On November 15, Iqbal’s father AKM Nurul Alam, filled a writ petition with the HC, seeking necessary orders from the HC to find out his son.
Later, the High Court bench of Tariq ul Hakim and Justice Md Faruque issued a rule asking the authorities concerned to explain why the inactivity of the law enforcement agencies to rescue the doctor should not be declared negligence in discharging duties.
The court also directed the government to submit a report before it within 10 days on what steps has been taken to rescue the missing government physician.
