Police told a Dhaka court on Sunday that they were yet to make any headway into BNP leader M Ilias Ali's 'missing' case.
The law-enforcing agency admitted its failure in a report to the court of Dhaka Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Muniruzzaman, four days after the BNP organising secretary went missing.
Ali's wife Tahsina Rushdir Luna had filed a general diary with the Banani police on Wednesday after his car was found abandoned in Mahakhali. Following the complaint, the magistrate ordered police to inform the court of the probe progress every 48 hours.
Ali's wife had also sought the High Court's intervention to find her missing husband.
On Saturday, Rapid Action Battalion conducted raids on four houses in Pubail, Gazipur.
RAB officials said they conducted the searches based on a letter given to them by Ilias Ali's wife. They said she was with them during the operations.
Tahsina, however, rejected the RAB claims while speaking to reporters.
The BNP has held the government responsible for the disappearance. Prime minister Sheikh Hasina described the missing incident a 'new drama staged by BNP'.
The BNP spokesperson, Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir, had threatened to enforce non-stop general strike if Ali was not found.
The main opposition's daylong countrywide strike for Sunday is going on amid reports of sporadic clashes with police.
In Sylhet, police have detained more than 50 BNP activists following violent clashes that left more than 20 people injured.
Meanwhile, several homemade bombs had reportedly exploded in the capital.
Ilias Ali is also BNP's Sylhet unit chief and a former lawmaker
