T made a statement on the death of Driver Shamsul to an enquiry body of my regiment in Comilla." Havildar (retd) Se-limuddin said during cross-examination by a defence lawyer at Dhaka District and Sessions
Judge Court.
Replying to a query from advocate Abdur Razzak Khan, the
PW 33 told the court that the investigation took place after one or two months of the incident "Except this. 1 did not make any statement to any authority except the CID
All the previous 32 witnesses said they didn’t make any statement to any authority other than CID on the August 15 tragedy
Selim however said that he did not know if the Criminal
Investigation Department (CID) had brought his statement from the Moynamati Cantonment.
The PW-33 said he heard that an autopsy of Shamsul was done at Combined Military Hospital (CMH) in Dhaka But. he denied a suggestion that CID didn't take the post-mortem re port as it indicated that Sham-sul was killed by bullet.
Shamsul. a sepoy of a sevenmember team led by witness Selim, was on patrol duty around Bangabandhu's realdence. He was killed and three others were injured when an artillery shell blasted near the house on early August 15 morning, Selim said.
Many witnesses earlier told the court that several cannon shells had been exploded from Kalabagan during the August 15 bloody operation at the order of Major Muhiuddin, then Battery Commander of 2 Field Artillery and now facing trial.
The PW-33 denied another suggestion that shots were fired from first and second floors of Bangabandhu's house. "Not a single shot was fired from the house." he said.
The retired artillery havil-dar declined to speak of the range of an artillery shell for state secrecy. "Will it be wise to disclose the range of country's artillery guns." he said replying to a Question from defence counsel advocate T M Akbar.
Selim, a Naik of 1 Field Artillery stationed at Comilla, was in a 105-member contingent. led by Captain Abul Bashar, that came to Dhaka in July 1975 for the security of the then President Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman.
