it could not be confirmed if any GD was filed after Nibras went missing.
Nannu Miah, caretaker of the building Tousif lived in, told the Dhaka Tribune that the boy usually came to Bangladesh in a regular interval and most often went outside in the afternoon carrying a bag. He had the bag also on the day he went missing.
Inspector (investigation) of Dhanmondi cop shoppe Helal Uddin said they had tried to find Tousif but could not find him. His last known location was in Dhanmondi.
Nibras completed his O Levels and A Levels from Turkish Hope School in Uttara near where he lived and then went to North South University. Then he quit halfway and left the country for Monash University in Malaysia in around 2013.
