The report, submitted on Jun 4, said most cases of enforced disappearance during the Awami League years were carried out by police and intelligence agencies. Chief Advisor Yunus visited several alleged Ayna Ghar sites in February 2025, following public pressure and amid military concerns over who would accompany him on such visits. After receiving the commission’s second report, Yunus said “gentlemen in society” were involved in enforced disappearances, while Justice Moinul subsequently warned that many officials implicated still sat at the heart of state power. Hence, to free the Armed Forces from this liability, those responsible for such great harm to the nation must face proper trial," he said.
