CUFL high officials yet to be quizzed

Staff Correspondent,
Investigators of the arms case filed in connection with the seizure of huge cache of arms in Chittagong are yet to start quizzing the then high officials of the Chittagong Urea Fertiliser Ltd (CUFL).
The arms and ammunition were seized while they were being offloaded at the CUFL jetty on April 2.2004.
Recently, a key accused in the case gave a confessional statement claiming an Ulfa leader had told him that he had permission to offload the arms from CUFL and the government.
The CID is preparing to issue letters to the CUFL authorities asking for a list of senior officials working in the factory at that time in order to interrogate them, sources in the department said.

Thursday sent a letter to the then CUFL managing director (MD) Mohsin Talukder, now retired and living in Dhaka, about questioning him. The CID, however, interrogated a few incumbent CUFL officials including its current MD Abdus Sobhan Khan.
Senior Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) of CID Chittagong zone and the investigation officer (IO) of the arms case Muniruzzaman Chowdhury told The Daily Star yesterday that they were informed that Mohsin is at his village home in Faridpur due to personal reasons.
He hoped that they would be able to quiz Mohsin in a day or two.
CID Chittagong zone Special Superintendent Mohammad Muslimuddin, also supervisor of the case, Thursday said, "Abdus Sobhan Khan told us that no goods can be loaded or offloaded at the CUFL jetty without permission of the managing director. So, the former MD will be interrogated."
Investigators are also looking for any document the then CUFL authority might have received from high officials of the then government with instructions regarding the offloading.
The prime accused of the case Hafizur Rahman in his confessional statement on March 2 quoted Ulfa (United Liberation Front of Assam) leader Paresh Barua as claiming to have permission from CUFL and government offices for offloading the arms and ammunition.
Ansar members on duty on that April night at CUFL might also be interrogated. ASP Muniruzzaman said they are going to issue a letter to the District Adjutant of Bangladesh Ansar seeking a list Ansar members on duty at CUFLonApril2,2004.
