A young businessman in the port city has been missing since Monday afternoon.

Even though his car has been found in front of the parking lot of the Chittagong Diabetic General Hospital last night, police are yet to find his or his driver's whereabouts, said Sub-inspector Md Alamgir of Khulshi Police Station.

Zunaid Hossain Akib, 25, of Kusumbag Residential area, went to the city's Agrabad area with his driver Mohammed Mostafa, 30, in the afternoon for processing some visa documents, said family members.

Zunaid, who completed his undergraduate degree from the capital's North South University last April, returned to Chittagong to look after his family business as his father died last February, they added.

He did not return home afterwards and his mobile phone was found switched off, said his brother-in-law Abul Manzur, who filed a general diary with Khulshi Police Station.

After speaking to the locals of the area where his car was last seen they came to know that his car was hit by a Pajero jeep near Goribullah Shah Mazar area, he said.

Zunaid had a scuffle with two of the passengers of the vehicle who later assured him to repair his damaged car, he added.

Nizam Uddin, officer-in-charge of Khulshi Police Station, said Zunaid's mobile phone was last active at 2:45pm on Monday and the location was West Khulshi.
