Sylhet CBA Leader Murder

No arrest yet as police fail to make headway

Staff Correspondent, Sylhet
Police could not unearth clues to the murder of Jalalabad Gas Transmission and Distribution Company Limited CBA chief Abu Taher and arrest any of the killers as ofyesterday.
However, no case was filed with the police station concerned as the family members are yet to back from their village home in Chittagong,
Police said they are working just on the basis of a general diary (GD) registered by them after the killing that took place in Sylhet city on Thursday last.
A human chain was formed at Rainagar in the city yesterday to press the demand for immediate arrest of the killers Abu Taher. A rally was also held at the venue.
A police official said they are now working on the basis of GD and other findings. "We are waiting for the return of Taher's family. If the family members refuse to file case.
we will have to do it," he said.
Acting officer-in-charge of Sylhet Kotwali Police Station Narayan Dutta said they have so far quizzed 20 employees and union office bearers of Jalalabad Gas Transmission and Distribution Company Limited. Internal feuds in the ruling party backed CBA might have a link to the murder, he added.
Fazlul Bari Didar, accounts assistant of the company, who was accompanying Taher at the time of attack, has remained admitted to Sylhet MAG Osmani Medical College Hospital since the incident on the plea of sickness. But, he sustained no injury, police said.
The acting officer- in-charge, who filed the GD after the killing, said they have quizzed him at the hospital. "We have kept Bari under observation. He would be quizzed further."
Deputy Commissioner of Sylhet Metropolitan Police (SMP) Ahsan Habib Palash said, "We are almost sure the
planned murder has taken place due to internal feuds in the CBA."
Criminals killed Md Abu Taher when he along with a colleague was going to his office in the city Thursday morning.
Taher, 55, senior technician of the company, a concern of state-run Petrobangla, along with Fazlul Bari Didar, joint assistant secretary of the CBA, came out from their official quarters at the city's Rainagar area and started for office on Taher's motorbike at about 11:00am, police and locals said.
As they reached near the Roads and Highways Department office after a few minutes, two young men on a motorbike waylaid them and suddenly hit Taher, making him fall on the ground. Then one of the attackers slitTaher's throat.
Pedestrians sent Taher to the Osmani Medical College Hospital, where the doctors declared him dead.
