Ramu visit tive engineer in charge and the matter was successfully resolved by way of mediation conducted by the Commission. The respondents agreed to bear the lion's share of the expenses for surgery. Both the parties left the NHRC office with smile. NHRC's persistence does miracle A caption of a news published in two national dailies on 4 November 2009 'Titu arrested by RAB, a year ago still missing' captured the attention of the NHRC. It was alleged that that the Deputy Assistant Director of RAB 3, arrested a youth leader Tushar Islam Titu in Dhukuria Bera Bazar, in Belkuchi Upazila of Sirajgong district. Since then there was no whereabouts of Titu and RAB 3 subsequently denied arresting Titu. Initial inquiry conducted by the Ministry of Home Affairs contained conflicting statements. And therefore, the NHRC demanded reinvestigation by a team under the leadership of an officer not below the rank of a deputy secretary. The new com- 34 mittee submitted its report in June 2010. However, in the opinion of the NHRC the second report too was incomplete and fell far short of identifying the real perpetrators of enforced disappearance. The report, therefore, was rejected by the Commission and the Home secretary was asked to send a full fledged, complete report. In his report submitted on 29 September, 2010 it was mentioned that there is sufficient evidence to believe that Titu was arrested by RAB 3 and 5 RAB officials were implicated in this act of enforced disappearance. Pursuant to these findings the NHRC recommended that Ministry of Home Affairs lodge criminal cases against the 5 alleged offenders and inform the Commission on the actions taken. Subsequently, on 11 November, 2012 the Ministry of Home Affairs informed the NHRC that the Police and the RAB Headquarters have been directed to begin criminal proceedings against the 5 identified offenders and also comply with other recommendations made by the NHRC.
