Shahara for Interpol help to catch Azad

Star Report
Home Minister Shahara Khatun yesterday said absconding war crimes suspect Abul Kalam Azad, widely known as Bachchu Razakar, will be brought back home with the help of the International Criminal Police Organisation.
“We'll seek help from Interpol to bring back Bachchu Razakar to the country,” she said after inaugurating a new police station at Banani in the afternoon.
On April 3, the International Crimes THbunal-2 issued an arrest warrant against Azad for crimes against humanity during the Liberation War in 1971.
He left Dhaka on March 30 and stayed at hotel Capila, owned by his friend Abul Kashem Azad, at Hili Port, Dinajpur, the Rapid Action Battalion said on Monday.
Replying to a question, Shahara said an investigation would be launched to know how Bachchu Razakar had fled the country, UNB reports.
The minister also said members of Border Guard Bangladesh had been put on alert so that no more razakar (wartime collabo-
rator) could flee the country.
Meanwhile, a Dhaka court yesterday remanded two sons and a brother-in-law of Abul Kalam Azad for two days each in connection with helping Azad escape.
The Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate's Court passed the remand order after SubInspector Nizam Uddin, the investigation officer of a case relating to assisting Azad in fleeing, produced the trio with a seven-day remand prayer.
SI Nizam in his report said Rab had recovered seven mobile phones from the arrestees. Therefore, the three needed to be remanded in order to collect the names of those who had talked with them sometime between March 30 and April 3.
They also could lead to the tracing of another
accused, Dr Yusuf, a retired National University teacher, the IO said.
Rab personnel arrested Azad's sons Shah Mohammad Faisal Azad, 36, and Abul Kashem Muhammad Mushfiq Billah alias Jihad, 34, and brother-in-law Kazi Ehtesham-ul Huq Liton, 40, from a house in the capital's Sutrapur on Monday afternoon.
The elite force also caught Abul Kashem Azad, who is president of C&F Agent Association and an accused in the case, from Hili Port the same day.
Yesterday, a writ petition, which sought High Court directives on the government to produce before it two “missing” sons and a brother-in-law of Azad, was withdrawn as their whereabouts were known.
Azad's daughter Samania Zannati submitted the peti-
tion on Sunday, claiming that law enforcers had held her brothers Faisal Azad and Jihad and maternal uncle Ehtesham from Dhaka early Friday.
The HC bench of Justice Abdul Awal and Justice Md Ashraful Kamal was scheduled to hear the petition yesterday.
Deputy Attorney General Rashed Jahangir yesterday informed the court that Rab personnel on Monday arrested Faisal, Jihad and Ehtesham on specific allegations and they were in custody.
Samania's lawyer Nasir Uddin Ahmed Ashim then prayed to the court for a return of the writ petition.
Ashim told The Daily Star that he had taken back the writ petition as his client became sure of the position of her brothers and maternal uncle.
