Actress Meghla Mukta has found her father Mizanur Rahman Dulal, who went missing on Monday night, after nearly 10 hours of searching, with family members locating him at a clinic in Uttara on Tuesday afternoon.

The actress, who worked in both Bangladeshi and Indian Telugu films and came into the spotlight with her Telugu film ‘Sakala Kala Vallabhudu’ and Bangladeshi films ‘Payer Chhap’, ‘Kathgolap ‘Aguner Pakhi’, shared the news in a Facebook post, expressing gratitude to everyone who helped her family find her father.

“Alhamdulillah! By the infinite mercy of Allah, we have got our father back today. I am sincerely grateful to everyone who prayed for my father, shared his photos and posts, and extended their support,” she wrote.

Meghla said a person recognised her father from his photograph circulating on social media and contacted the family by phone. His whereabouts were also traced by tracking his mobile phone number through the efforts of SRB.

The actress said she had received some preliminary information from the clinic authorities about how her father was brought there.

“They only told us that someone had brought my father there and left him. When they found him, something like foam was coming out of his mouth. We have found our father, but beyond that, we have not been able to learn anything yet. We will know the full story once he starts speaking,” she said.

Meghla remains concerned about her father's health, describing him as seriously ill. She said finding him was the biggest relief for the family and sought prayers for his speedy recovery.

The actress also revealed that her father, Mizanur Rahman Dulal, is a first-class contractor of Dhaka WASA and has been involved in the contracting business for many years. Several major projects have been completed under his supervision.

For more than two months, construction work had been underway at a house owned by the family in Uttarkhan. Her father used to travel there daily from their residence in Bashundhara Residential Area to supervise the work.

Earlier, Dulal had left Uttarkhan for the Bhatara area of the capital around 8 pm on Monday. He last spoke to his daughter at 8:50 pm, after which his mobile phone was found switched off.

Unable to locate him despite searching throughout the night, the actress turned to Facebook, sharing his photograph and seeking public assistance. Her family had also searched several hospitals around Uttara, including Kurmitola General Hospital, before filing a general diary (GD) with Uttarkhan Police Station.
