8th PW gives deposition

Court Correspondent
Mohammad Anisuzzaman Khan, eighth prosecution witness in the Shazneen rape case and a friend of the victim's father, gave his deposition before court yesterday.
Kazi Rahamat Ullah, judge of the Second Special Tribunal for Prevention of Women and Children Repression, Dhaka, recorded the deposition for an hour.
He was then cross-examined by lawyer of Shahidul Islam alias Shahid, principal accused in the case.
Anisuzzaman identified two of the accused-Minu and Parvin --in the dock.
The court then adjourned the hearing till March 27.
Anisuzzaman told the court that at about 8.30 pm on April 23, 1998, he and his wife joined a party at Latifur Rahman's (Shazneen's father) Gulshan residence in the city.
"After entering the residence, I saw a strange matter that all the security lights on the compound were off. Then we went upstairs where the party was going on. After a while, we met Mrs Latifur Rahman and asked how she was. She replied that she was not so good. She had high blood pressure. "At about 9:30 pm, the invitees were entertained. At about 10.15 pm, I heard a hue and cry downstairs. Latifur Rahman went there. I followed him and saw many people roaming.
"One of the persons there said some body wounded Shazneen seriously. I went to Shazneen's bedroom and saw her lying on the floor in a pool of blood. On the left side of her neck, there was a deep cut injury. One person said Shazneen was no more. Then I came out of the room.
"At about 11.00 pm, police came and opened the door on the northern side of Shazneen's room. Then they went to a tin-shed where some people were sleeping. Police woke them. Later, I came to know that they were carpenters.
"Later, I came near the stairs and saw two housemaids--Minu and Parvinstanding there. I asked Parvin what she saw. She said she entered Shazneen's room and saw a man with white shirt on her (Shazneen) body and went out of the room. In reply to a question by another guest,
Parvin said she saw a man with stripe shirt sitting on Shazneen's body. Parvin also said she saw Shahid sitting on her (Shazneen's) body with a knife in his hand. Later, she said that she saw nothing", Anisuzzaman told the court.
"I came to know on that night that Shahid, a domestic help at Latifur's house, was not found and that he left the house at about 2.30 am (on April 24)", the witness added.
Special Public prosecutors (PPs) Arfan Uddin Khan and Saima Khanam appeared for the state. Advocates MA Kamrul Hasan Khan Aslam and Mizanur Rahman defended the accused.
Shazneen Tasnim Rahman,15, youngest daughter of Latifur Rahman, Chairman of Transcom, was raped and murdered at their Gulshan residence on April 23, 1998.
