Six masonry workers from a village in Zakiganj upazila of Sylhet, who went missing for six days after going to work as bricklayers in Cox's Bazar, have been rescued from Teknaf. 

Teknaf Police Station Officer-in-Charge Muhammad Gias Uddin confirmed that they were rescued from Rajarchara Hills in Teknaf around 9pm today (22 April).

Earlier today, one of the missing workers, Rashid Ahmed, in a phone call informed Bahar Uddin, brother of another missing bricklayer Emad Uddin, that they are now in the Indonesian sea.

"Rashid told me that they were taken to Indonesia in a trawler from Teknaf," said Bahar, speaking to reporters this afternoon.

"However, Rashid did not say anything beyond that. It is not clear how true the matter is," he added. 

This evening, four relatives, including Bahar, of the missing bricklayers, filed a written complaint with the Teknaf Police Station in Cox's Bazar on charges of abduction over the bricklayers going missing.

The six missing individuals are Rashid Ahmed (20), son of the late Lukush Mia, Maruf Ahmed (18), son of Faruk Ahmed, Shahin Ahmed (21), son of Azir Uddin, Emad Uddin (22), son of the late Durai Mia, Khaled Hasan (19), son of Safar Uddin, and Abdul Jalil (55), son of the late Sarabdi, of Paschim Loharmahal village in Khalachhara union of Zakiganj.

All of them left their homes in Zakiganj on 15 April to attend work in Cox's Bazar, according to police and family members.

"Emad, Khaled, and their companions left home on 15 April and reached Cox's Bazar on the 16th. At around 6pm that day, Emad called home and informed them that they had all reached their workplace," Emad's cousin and Khaled's uncle Abdul Basit Dulal told The Business Standard yesterday.

"After that, they did not contact home. When family members called them, their mobile phones were found switched off. Their companions also could not be reached over the phone. At first, the matter seemed normal. But since no one called back after five days, the families became worried," he added.
