Staff Correspondent, Ctg
The investigators of Criminal Investigation Department (CID) are preparing to interrogate former home secretary Omar Faruk and four other members of the probe committee the home ministry formed following the seizure of ten truckloads of firearms in the early hours of April 02,2004.
Investigation Officer (IO) of the arms haul case ASP Muniruzzaman Chowdhury confirmed that they are going to interrogate former home secretary Omar Faruk and other members of the high-level probe committee soon.
The other members of the committee include former deputy inspector general of special branch Shamsul Islam, former director of DGFI Rezzaqul Haider Chowdhury, former NSI director Enamur Rahman Chowdhury and former CID DIG Farruk Ahmed Chowdhury.
Muniruzzaman told the The Daily Star that around 50 persons, including the probe committee members and witnesses may be interrogated.
He said they have started issuing notice to 23 accused who are on bail to interrogate them at CID Chittagong regional headquarters at Dampara Police Line within next three to four days.

Of the probe committee members, major general (retd) ReZzaqui Haider Chowdhury who retired as the NSIDG was now behind bars along with another former NSI DG brigadier general (retd) Abdur Rahim for alleged involvement in the sensational arms haul incident.
Rezzaqul Haider was grilled on remand at Joint Interrogation Cell while Abdullahel Baki was interrogated at the CID headquarters.
Meanwhile, IO Muniruzzaman. also a senior ASP of CID under Chittagong region, on Sunday submitted a petition to the court of Metropolitan Sessions Judge Bhabani Prasad Singha for extending the time for further investigation for another three months as the previously extended time for investigation ends on October 5.
The court fixed hearing on the time petition made for the fifth time on October 05.
The same court earlier on July 22 extended the time for further investigation into the sensational case for 75 more days against a prayer for 90 days.
CID sources said the investigators would need more time to complete the investigation as many others concerned with the case required to be interrogated.
The CID investigators already have interrogated fifty-five persons including former industry secretary Nurul Amin, two ex-chiefs (director generals), one former director, one former deputy director and one field officer of NSI, former BCIC chairman brigadier general Imamuzzaman, former managing director of Chittagong Urea Fertiliser Company Limited , former CMP commissioner Sabbir Ali, former DC (port) Abdullahel Baki, former assistant commissioner (port) Mahmudur Rahman and two former investigation officers Ahadur Rahman and AKM Kabir Uddin.
