"The security guard Akhter Islam yesterday said that on Tuesday at 9.15 at night, a number of vehicles and men came to the house. There were three cars standing outside the house. After some time, at about 10 pm they came in and said that "we are from DB. No problem.’ And so some of them came inside the house and Akhter said ‘Why have you come here’, and they replied, ‘You will learn about that later.’  

Akhter said that at that time, two of the men slapped him and he saw a gun with them and he was scared. So they asked Akhter to sit quiet and they went to the second floor. Akhter said, ‘Probably it was the maid that opened the door. The men were there for about 20 or 25 minutes. When they were coming down, he (Saladuddin) was blindfolded and two of them were holding him each side.’ Then they took him in  amicrobus and left. 

Akhter also said that 4 days before the arrests, the tenant of the second floor brought Salauddin as a guest. They left the flat leaving Salauddin there. After the police took Salauddin, the maid also did not show up. 

Another security guard from another building; said: ‘At around 9.15 pm that night, 4 people came to him and asked him about the house number. So he showed them the house. Two of those men were carrying arms." He thought they were from the police or the RAB."
