DHAKA -- On a December morning in 2011, Bangladesh's feared Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) security force led politician Ataur Rahman away from a Dhaka restaurant. His family hasn't seen him since.
"My daughter who has special needs keeps asking when her father will come home. My son grew up without ever knowing his father," Rahman's wife Nadira Begum told Nikkei Asia, her voice breaking. "If my husband has been killed, tell us. If he is alive, return him to us."
