Actress Meghla Mukta is desperately searching for her missing father after he disappeared on his way home in Dhaka on Monday night.
Despite searching throughout the night and contacting nearby hospitals, the family has yet to find him.
Her father left Uttarkhan for their home in Bashundhara Residential Area at around 8pm on Monday.
Meghla last spoke to him at 8:50pm. His mobile phone has remained switched off since then.
Speaking about the situation, Meghla broke down in tears. She said her family owns a plot in Uttarkhan where construction work is underway.
Her father regularly visits the site to supervise the work and had gone there as usual on Monday. After finishing his work, he set off for home.
Initially, the family assumed his phone had run out of charge. However, when he failed to return late at night, they began searching along both sides of the route between Uttarkhan and Bashundhara. Their efforts continued throughout the night but yielded no result.
The actress is particularly worried because her father is seriously ill. The family has checked hospitals around Uttara and Kurmitola Hospital, but none has provided any information about his whereabouts.
They have also filed a general diary (GD) at Uttarkhan Police Station.
At 3:18am on Tuesday, Meghla shared three photographs with her father on her verified Facebook page, asking people to help locate him.
She mentioned his poor health and expressed concern over his prolonged disappearance.
The actress has urged anyone who has seen her father or knows anything about his whereabouts to contact her immediately. She also prayed for his safe and healthy return.
Meghla herself suffered serious injuries in a road accident in Banani on 28 July. She spent an extended period in hospital, including time in intensive care. In an interview on 23 October, she spoke about her medical treatment and legal struggle following the accident.
She said her father had been attending court repeatedly to follow the case, despite his age and health problems.
Meghla has worked in both Bangladeshi and Telugu films. She gained attention through the Telugu film ‘Sakala Kala Vallabhudu’. Her Bangladeshi film credits include ‘Payer Chhap’, ‘Kathgolap’ and ‘Aguner Pakhi’.
