6 Killed by Mob

Families tell of cop reluctance

Staff Correspondent
Families of six students killed by a mob at Amin Bazar last year have alleged police are reluctant to probe into the incident and arrest the killers.
At a press conference held at Crime Reporters' Association of Bangladesh yesterday, they alleged investigation officer Assistant Superintendent of Police Sirajul Haque is playing a mysterious role.
Shams Rahim Shamam, 17, Ibrahim Khalil, 20, Towhidur Rahman Palash, 22, and Kamruzzaman Kanto, 16, of Government Bangla College in Mirpur; Upu Sultan, 20, of Tejgaon College; and Sitaf Jabi Munif, 21, of Bangladesh University of Business & Technology were brutally beaten to death labelled as robbers on July 18. Their friend Al Amin survived the attack with severe injuries.
Al Amin later said they went to Keblar Char in Bardeshi village on the night of Shab-e-Barat for a walk.
Parents of the victims accompanied by many of their classmates told reporters yesterday the students were killed" under the shelter of police".
In a written statement, they said investigator Sirajul Haque of Criminal Investigation Department is maintaining underhand dealings with the culprits and earning a hefty amount of money.
Aminur Rahim, father of Shamam, told The Daily Star hundreds of people of Amin Bazar and Bardeshi village have mentioned the names of a number of killers. Many of the accused have openly admitted their involvement, but the police are mysteriously unable to find any killers, he added.
Rahim alleged the investigation is not making headway as policemen were behind the incident.
Sources say seven people have so far been arrested since the brutal incident and five of them were remanded for six days in two phases.
Of them, Farid Khan, Mohammad Wasim and Mohammad Rajib admitted their involvement before the police.
Talking to The Daily Star, investigator Sirajul said Farid, Wasim and Rajib admitted their involvement before police but denied it before the court.
Asked, the CID investigator said, "We are facing difficulties in managing witnesses as no-one agrees to come forward.11
He denied all the allegations of the families of the victims and said the investigation needs more time.
