Jahangir murder case

Shikdar, 'Jamai' Faruque, Liakat get life term

OUR CORRESPONDENT, Khulna
Ershad Ali Shikdar, Jamai Faruque and Liaquat Lashkar have been awarded life imprisonment in the sensational Jahangir Master murder case.
Accused Sultan Mahmud and Noor-e-Alam have been acquitted of the charge.
Additional District and Sessions Judge (One) Mohammad Didar Ali Fakir gave the verdict at 3:30 pm yesterday.
The judge also fined the convicts Tk 20,000 each, in default, to suffer three more years in jail.
Ershad, Liakat Lashkar, Jamai Faruque and Noor-e-Alam were present in the court during the judgement. Sultan Mahmud who was on bail also appeared before the court.
According to prosecution, Jahangir Kabir, son of Abul Mansur
of Rupsha upazila was a house tutor of Shikdar's family. He reportedly developed illicit affair with Shikdar's first wife Khodeja Begum.
When suspicion grew stronger in Shikdar's mind, he planned to kill Jahangir. On the evening of March 18 of 1998, Ershad sent Jamai Faruque, Liaquat Lashkar and Noor-e-Alam to his residence, Swarnakamol, to bring Jahangir Master to ice factory at Skid ghat.
Jahangir was brought to Shikdar's office at Skid ghat at about 7:30 pm and strangled by Shikdar and his accomplices at about 8:30 pm.
The body was slashed into pieces and later dumped into Bhairab river as learnt from judicial confession of Noor-e-Alam recorded under Section 164 of CrPC in the court of CMM on September 2, 1999, only two days after his surrender to the police.
Abdul Mannan, father of Jahangir, filed a case with Khulna thana on September 28 of 1999 accusing Shikdar, Jamai Faruque, Liaquat Lashkar, Noor-e-Alam and Sultan Mahmud of killing his son.
The murder case was later transferred to DB of KMP assigning Inspector Shurawardy Khan as IO.
After investigation, IO submitted the chargesheet to CMM's court on January 24, 2000 against all the five FIR-named accused.
The case was then put on trial in the court of Additional District and Session Judge (One).
The charge against the accused was framed on February 27, 2000. A total of 27 prosecution witnesses were examined during trial of the case.
