Weekly Blitz has also started investigating the case of such mysterious advertisement of Maisha Group along with activities of the business enterprise of the ruling party lawmaker Md. Aslamul Haque.

In recent months, the trend of disappearance and murder of drivers of a number of members of the ruling party has reached to an alarming level. Driver of the Assistant Personal Secretary [APS] of Minister Suranjit Sen Gupta is yet to be traced. Similarly, fate of the driver of missing Bangladesh Nationalist Party [BNP] leader M Ilias Ali is unknown to anyone. Few weeks back, driver of the son of influential Awami League leader Mofazzal Hossain Chowdhury Maya was killed in Uttara area in the capital city by unidentified assassins.

None of these cases either had been properly investigated nor the mysteries behind had been unfolded by the law enforcing or intelligence agencies in Bangladesh. It was rumored though that these drivers might have become victim of secret killings as they became witness of corruption and crimes of the respective 'elites' of the ruling party. The latest episode of disappearance came into radar of intelligence agencies in the country, when ruling party lawmaker Md. Aslamul Haque's business enterprise Maisha Group published notice in a number of local dailies on August 27, 2012 with photographs of two of the 'missing' drivers of the MP.

According to the advertisement circulars published in the dailies, Maisha Group claimed that its driver Md. Ibrahim Sarder, son of Md. Abul Kalam Sarder, Village: Kismnat Moukayon under district Patuakhali and driver Md. Jafar Matbor, son of late Syed Matbor of Village: Bhabloganj under district Patuakhali had been missing since August 14, 2012. In the advertisements, Maisha Group claimed that, its driver Md. Ibrahim Sarder went into hiding after stealing Taka Two Hundred Thousand while on duty from the official vehicle bearing registration number Dhaka Metro Cha-53-3604. The company also lodged a case with Jatrabari Police Station on the same day [Case Number 54, dated 14-08-2012, under section 406/420]. Maisha Group has also mentioned mobiles phone numbers of both the missing drivers, which are: 0192-681-2340 and 0192-007-4731 and requested the people to inform the company about the whereabouts of these "missing" drivers of the company. General Manager of the company, Md. Anwar Hossain [Mobile phone number: 0171-300-6945, 0175-5534-620] signed the notices.

Since publication of these advertisements in the local dailies, intelligence agencies and investigative journalists in Bangladesh have started looking into this issue with due importance, as they already are smelling rat behind this mysterious notices published by the ruling party MP. Many are even anticipating that the drivers might also have faced the similar fates of those missing or murdered drivers of Assistant Personal Secretary [APS] of Minister Suranjit Sen Gupta, missing BNP leader M Ilias Ali or the murdered driver of the son of influential Awami League leader Mofazzal Hossain Chowdhury Maya.
