Murder of Arrestee in Gazipur

Probe finds 2 cops guilty

Suggests maximum punishment for neglect of duty

Kailasii Sarkar
A probe committee has found two policemen and an Ansar member responsible for the death of a detainee in Gazipur on May 29, sources say.
The three-member committee has recommended taking the highest punitive measures against the three law-enforcers for "sheer neglect of duty" and "extreme inhuman atti-
tudes".
According to the committee's probe report, criminals took away Mamun Bhuiyan of Baragaon village in Kaliganj from the policemen and killed him in front of them.
"The policemen took the handcuffs off his hands and returned to the police station [Kaliganj police station], leaving him dead on the spot instead of taking him to the hospital," it reads.
The incident occurred after Subinspector Nripen Chandra Dey along with a police constable and an Ansar member arrested Mamun at Ramchandrapur village that evening and was on way to Kaliganj Police Station.
Mamun's brother Nazmul Bhuiyan alleged that the law enforcers had turned his brother in to the criminals, including a former Union
Parishad member.
Hours after the incident, SI Nripen filed a case saying 150 to 200 people had taken away Mamun from them at Ramchandrapur. Mamun was arrested in a case filed by local UP chairman Shariful Islam Toran on charges of attacking him earlier.
Two days after the incident, Superintendent of Police of Gazipur Abdul Baten formed a committee to probe the incident. Headed by Additional SP Mohammad Abul Hossain, the committee also included Shahrier Al Mamun, Kaliganj circle ASP, and Mohammad Abul Khayer, officer-in-charge of Gazipur
district detective branch.
Nripen was subsequently suspended and his team members were withdrawn from the police station.
After a weeklong investigation, the committee submitted its report to the SP onThursday.
Talking to The Daily Star, probe body chief Abul Hossain said the policemen had set an example of sheer neglect in duty and also showed extreme inhuman attitudes.
"The SI went to arrest Mamun without informing the officer-in-charge. He conducted the drive while there were only two members with him," the additional SP added.
He said the criminals had
dared to snatch away the detainee as there had been an inadequate number of policemen. But the policemen did not take any step to rescue the victim, he added.
Earlier on May 31, the victim's brother filed a case against nine identified and eight to 10 anonymous people. The accused include Shariful Islam, chairman of Moktarpur Union Parishad in Kaliganj.
Police have so far arrested four people -- the chairman's brothers Shakhawat Hossain Iran and Iman Hossain Kawsar, Shyamal Chandra Sarkar and Sri CinibasMondol.
Of them, only Iran was accused in the case.
