He was never found again. The interim government&#8217;s chief advisor, Professor Dr. Muhammad Yunus, along with local and foreign media workers and victims, visited the mirror house on Wednesday morning. On this day, they visited the DGFI in Kachukhete, Dhaka, and the RAB mirror houses in Uttara and Agargaon.<\/p>\n<p>After this visit, the interim government&#8217;s cultural advisor, Mostafa Sarwar Farooqui, has been vocal about the &#8216;mirror house&#8217; on social media. He has described how BNP leader Sajedul was killed in the mirror house.<\/p>\n<p>Farooqui wrote on Facebook, &#8216;Maybe my childhood friend Sajedul Islam Sumon was kept in one of these rooms. In such a room, he was trembling with fear of the unknown.<\/p>\n<p>The cultural advisor made an emotional post on his verified Facebook, remembering his friend Sajedul Islam Suman, who was a victim of disappearance.<\/p>\n<p>He also wrote, &#8220;Sitting in such a room, he might have raised his hands in the court of Allah and cried and said &#8211; Allah, save me for this time. I will not do politics and politics anymore. Save me for my child. Save me for my mother.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He wrote, &#8220;We, 17 crore people, were trapped in such a room for sixteen years. And I used to secretly say, Allah save us from the hands of this witch.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Farooqui wrote, &#8220;My last conversation with Suman was while I was hiding in a hospital in Uttara. I had a photo of his nephew Abrar with me. I clearly remember his last words, &#8216;Friend, Abrar, take it easy. Otherwise, I will act badly.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>The cultural advisor wrote, \u2018I was under the rule of such a tyrant that I could not say a single word for you, Suman. Later, I learned that on the orders of the human beast Ziaul Ahsan, he injected you and threw you into the cold lake. The father who was supposed to return home and eat rice with his child was turned into food for the fish of the cold lake by this group of witches.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>He wrote, \u2018When someone comes to speak on behalf of these hyenas, the blood rushes to my head. I lose my composure.\u2019<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On December 4, 2013, former general secretary of Dhaka Metropolitan BNP, Sajedul Islam Sumon, went&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":25487,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[103],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-25486","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-bangladesh-en"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"featured_image_urls":{"full":["https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/biztrend24.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Screenshot-2025-02-13-120224.jpg?fit=646%2C354&ssl=1",646,354,false],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/biztrend24.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Screenshot-2025-02-13-120224.jpg?resize=150%2C150&ssl=1",150,150,true],"medium":["https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/biztrend24.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Screenshot-2025-02-13-120224.jpg?fit=300%2C164&ssl=1",300,164,true],"medium_large":["https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/biztrend24.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Screenshot-2025-02-13-120224.jpg?fit=640%2C351&ssl=1",640,351,true],"large":["https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/biztrend24.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Screenshot-2025-02-13-120224.jpg?fit=640%2C351&ssl=1",640,351,true],"1536x1536":["https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/biztrend24.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Screenshot-2025-02-13-120224.jpg?fit=646%2C354&ssl=1",646,354,true],"2048x2048":["https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/biztrend24.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Screenshot-2025-02-13-120224.jpg?fit=646%2C354&ssl=1",646,354,true],"covernews-slider-full":["https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/biztrend24.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Screenshot-2025-02-13-120224.jpg?resize=646%2C354&ssl=1",646,354,true],"covernews-slider-center":["https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/biztrend24.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Screenshot-2025-02-13-120224.jpg?resize=646%2C354&ssl=1",646,354,true],"covernews-featured":["https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/biztrend24.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Screenshot-2025-02-13-120224.jpg?fit=646%2C354&ssl=1",646,354,true],"covernews-medium":["https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/biztrend24.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Screenshot-2025-02-13-120224.jpg?resize=540%2C340&ssl=1",540,340,true],"covernews-medium-square":["https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/biztrend24.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Screenshot-2025-02-13-120224.jpg?resize=400%2C250&ssl=1",400,250,true]},"author_info":{"display_name":"Biz Trend 24","author_link":"https:\/\/biztrend24.com\/author\/online24"},"category_info":"<a href=\"https:\/\/biztrend24.com\/?cat=103&#038;lang=en\" rel=\"category\">Bangladesh<\/a>","tag_info":"Bangladesh","comment_count":0,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/biztrend24.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Screenshot-2025-02-13-120224.jpg?fit=646%2C354&ssl=1","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":51339,"url":"https:\/\/biztrend24.com\/?p=51339&lang=en","url_meta":{"origin":25486,"position":0},"title":"Meeting led by Chief Advisor to review law and order situation","author":"Biz Trend 24","date":"December 22, 2025","format":false,"excerpt":"A meeting was held at Jamuna State Guest House on Sunday (December 21) to review the overall law and order situation in the country under the leadership of Chief Advisor Professor Muhammad Yunus.
