A day into the missing of four madrasa students in Habiganj’s Shaistaganj upazila, police found them at a house in Baniachang upazila of the same district this evening.

The law enforcers found them at one of their relative’s house in Balikhal village around 9:30pm, Yasinul Haq, officer-in-charge of Shaistaganj Police Station, told our Moulvibazar correspondent.

“We found them after raiding different areas and took them under our custody,” the police official said adding that they went to visit their relative house without informing anyone.
