Police in Bangladesh have defended their efforts to find
missing Test cricketer Shahadat Hossain.
Hossain, 29, and his wife have been missing for more than
two weeks after allegations they abused and tortured an 11-year-old housemaid,
who was found on the street in Dhaka on 6 September.
Police have been criticised for failing to find the pair.
Nazrul Islam, the investigation's senior officer, said they
were serious about it.
He added that they have conducted a raids in Shahadat's
father's house, and his in-laws' house.
He said also that “It doesn't matter if he's a national
cricketer or not - he's an accused before the eyes of the law and they will
track him down and put him before the court."
Authorities have come under scrutiny for their failure to
find Hossain in the 17 days since he disappeared.
Hossain has been suspended from all cricket by the
Bangladesh Cricket Board while the allegations are investigated.
