The Dhaka Times Desk The detectives suspect that the 2 pilots of the plane are behind the disappearance of the Malaysian plane. US intelligence has also told Malaysia that they have the same idea. That is why the Malaysian police searched the house of the two pilots on Saturday.
Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak told the media on Saturday that the plane was deliberately diverted an hour after take off. The Malaysian police also suspect that someone inside the plane did such an act. The detectives have started the investigation based on his words. They have placed the chief pilot Captain Zahari Ahmed Shah and his assistant co-pilot Farikh Abdul Hamid on the suspect list and started investigation. Even the passengers and crew on the plane are under investigation.
The media reported by quoting various Malaysian media that the detective police conducted extensive search at the house of Captain Zahiri Ahmed Shah on Saturday. They stayed at Zahiri Ahmed Shah's house for at least two hours and examined various things including the computer used by Zahiri. It was there that the detectives found several suspicious signs. However, his involvement is yet to be confirmed. Detectives found that 53-year-old Captain Zahari had previously kept a replica of his flight with a fictitious image at his home.
On the other hand, the plane's co-pilot, 27-year-old Farikh Abdul Hamid, is also being investigated extensively. Detectives are also specifically looking into the biographies of other crew members and their activities over the past few months.
Intelligence officials also told the news agency that since the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the United States by Osama bin Laden's forces, the International Civil Aviation Authority has been enforcing strict rules on cockpit access, egress and security. Even the cockpit doors are bulletproof. And the door is always locked from the inside. No outsider can enter it. Detectives told the news agency that whatever happened to the Malaysian plane, the pilots cannot be ruled out of doubt.
Aviation expert Paul Yap of Timasek Polytechnic, Singapore, told the media, 'The first people who are definitely involved in intentional/unintentional errors in the radar disengagement of the aircraft are certainly the pilots in the cockpit. Either one or both of them are behind it.'
The search for the missing plane continues. A large-scale search is underway in the Indian Ocean again. On the other hand, the Bangladesh Navy is also continuing to search for the plane in its territorial waters in the Bay of Bengal since yesterday.
On the other hand, on Saturday, the Civil Aviation Authority of Pakistan has directly denied the rumors that were spread in the western media, alleging that the plane was hijacked and taken to Pakistan.
It should be noted that since the disappearance of Malaysian Airlines flight MH370 with 239 passengers on March 7, various speculations have been spreading. Exactly why the Boeing aircraft lost contact with the radar of the airport control tower and how it completely disappeared, is still unclear.
