Three 'criminals' snapped with home minister in Raozan held

SHAHIDUL ISLAM, Chittagong
Police have arrested three ruling party-backed alleged criminals from different areas in Raozan on suspicion of their involvement in the murder of Buddhist monk Gyanajoti Mahasthabir.
The arrested are Billal Talukder, Omar Faruk and Taiyab Sultan, police said.
They were snapped among others with home minister Altaf Hossain Chowdhury on Saturday during his visit to the Buddhist temple cum orphanage in Raozan where the monk was killed recently.
Sources said Superintendent of police (SP) Matiur Rahman yesterday sent a report to Additional IGP Anwarul Islam about political identity, present status and criminal record of some notorious elements of Raozan. They were among those who accompanied the home minister during the visit.
Meanwhile, a faction of Raozan thana BNP, known to be loyal to Salahuddin Quader Chowdhury and Giasuddin Quader Chowdhury, organised a press conference at the Press Club here yesterday to protest some reports and photographs published in different dailies. They termed those 'baseless', 'false' and 'vindictive.'
Some alleged criminals, several cases against whom are now under
investigation and whose names were included in the SP's report, were also seen present at the press conference.
Raozan police called Billal to the thana saying that the Officer-in-charge (OC) would talk with him on Sunday night. As Billal arrived there, the OC on some plea took him to the SP, where he was shown arrested.
Omar Faruk was arrested by Raozan police from the upazila headquarters
on the same night while Taiyab was nabbed from Jalilnagar area in Raozan yesterday morning.
The three were produced before court here yesterday and the court sent them to jail, sources said.
According to the SP's report, thana BNP convenor Hasan Chowdhury has three criminal cases against him. Jubo Dal leader Rezaur Rahim Azam alias Kura Azam has four cases, Billal has three cases and Taiyab and Abbas have one each against them . Abu Hanif alias Champaiya has been chargesheetd in a case.
Most of the cases against them were related with post-election violence
and repression in Raozan.
Hasan Chowdhury, Kura Azam and Champaiya, who were also sanpped among others with the home minister, were seen at yesterday's press conference.
Kura Azam and Billal are still members of Raozan Upazila Law and Order Committee, sources pointed out.
