HC expects Humayun to right info in his book

Staff Correspondent
The High Court hopes that the publication of a novel by popular writer Humayun Ahmed will remain suspended until some information in it about the killing of Bangabandhu and his family is corrected.
An HC bench comprising Justice AHM Shamsuddin Choudhury Manik and Justice Jahangir Hossain Selim expressed this hope yesterday after Attorney General Mahbubey Alam on Monday drew its attention to the matter. He appealed to the court to take necessary steps to have the information in the novel "Deyal” corrected. Otherwise, he said, readers would get wrong information about the August 15, 1975 tragedy.
It issued a suo moto rule and asked the authorities concerned to furnish the writer with copies of relevant documents and judgements of the Bangabandhu killing case, so that he [Humayun] could present the information in a correct manner in the book
On May 11, two chapters of the novel were published in the daily Prothom Alo, in which it was stated that huddled on a bed, the two daughters-in-law of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman and litde Russell were trembling with fear. When the killers broke into the room Russell hid behind the clothes rack. From there he cried, “Don't shoot me".
The child was taken from there and shot dead, according to the novel.
On May 14, the attorney general placed the copy of the newspaper before the HC bench.
He told the court that according to the documents and judgement of the
Bangabandhu killing case, Sheikh Mujibur Rahman and 13 of his family members were assassinated on August 15, 1975 by a group of disgruntled army personnel. The killers snatched Sheikh Russell from AFM Mohitul Islam, the then personal assistant of Bangabandhu, saying that they would take him to his mother.
Russell, Sheikh Mujibur Rahman's 10-year-old son, had asked Mohitul whether they would kill him. Mohitul told the boy that they would not. But the killers took Russell from the ground floor and shot him dead on the first floor, said the attorneygeneral.
Talking to The Daily Star, he said Khandker Moshtaque, the main conspirator of the assassination, had been portrayed in the novel as if he did not know anything about the killing beforehand.
The HC bench yesterday made the secretaries of the ministries of education, cultural affairs and information respondents of the suo moto rule and asked Deputy Attorney General ABM Altaf Hossain to provide necessary papers and documents to Humayun Ahmed.
