They are key associates of fugitive ‘criminal’ Sazzad Ali, also known as Boro Sazzad, who is currently abroad. One is Mobarak Hossain, also known as Emon, and the other is Borhan Uddin. Their names have repeatedly surfaced in incidents involving extortion from owners of under-construction buildings and businesspeople, shootings over unpaid extortion, and killings openly carried out in public streets.

Chattogram Metropolitan Police have been actively searching for them. However, despite police failing to find them, the two appeared before the High Court and secured bail. In the widely discussed double murder case in Chattogram, the two criminals were granted six weeks’ bail on 1 February. Police only became aware of the development after the order reached Bakalia Police Station on 29 March.

Deputy commissioner (south) of Chattogram Metropolitan Police, Hossain Mohammad Kabir Bhuiyan, confirmed that the two criminals had obtained bail. He told Prothom Alo that police are searching for them. In the meantime, they have secured bail in the double murder case. The matter is being communicated to the prosecution through higher authorities.
