On June 17, Sourav's mother at a press conference in Dhaka said her son went missing when he went to respond to a job offer from Rapid Action Battalion (RAB).
“RAB officials contacted Sourav and told him to be present in front of Agora in the Chattogram Mimi Super Market area at 7pm with his passport, certificates, and CV, on June 9,” she said in the press conference.
The incident came to light on June 14 when Sohel Taj uploaded a post on his Facebook page.
