Rab claim found all too confusing

Criminals throng Jubo League committees

Star Report
Rab's previous claim that Jahid Siddique Tarek had been hit by bullet at the time of the killing of Jubo League leader Riazul Haque Khan Milky was found to be false, after Tarek's autopsy yesterday.
A magistrate's inquest report, prepared after Tarek's death on Wednesday night, said Tarek's body bore seven bullet marks - four in the abdomen, two in the head and one near the chest.

Sources at Dhaka Medical College morgue confirmed to The Daily Star that Tarek's body bore no bullet wounds other than those he suffered during the "shootout" on Wednesday night.
The inquest report also said there were two eightinch bandages on both sides of Tarek's back. But morgue sources involved in the autopsy said those were minor cut wounds, not bulletinjuries.
Tarek, who was the prime suspect in the Milky murder case, was killed in a “shootout” between his cohorts and Rab members at Kaola near air port around 10:15pm on Wednesday.
According to Rab officials, the shootout took place when they came under attack on their way to Gulshan Police Station to hand Tarek over to the police.
Following Milky's murder around 1:07am on Tuesday, Rab had arrested Tarek at a clinic in Uttara and kept him in its custody.
After the arrest, Rab claimed that Tarek had been accidentally shot by his accomplice, Sohel, at the time of shooting Milky.
Yesterday, when asked about its previous claim, Rab Media Wing Director Habibur Rahman told The Daily Star that they had made the statement based on the assertion of the doctors at the clinic.
Meanwhile, the home ministry yesterday authorised Rab-1 to investigate the Milky murder case filed by Milky's brother Major Rashedul Haque Khan.
Milky's murder is the result of an internal conflict that brewed over securing nomination in a DCC ward and controlling tender business, said sources in the Jubo League.
At least a dozen Jubo League leaders having involvement in criminal activities secured positions, either through money or clout, in the
Dhaka City units of the ruling Awami League's youth wing.
Having secured important posts, they have taken control over tender, land grabbing and cable TV network businesses to amass money. The lion's share of the money goes to their patrons, who remain oblivious to the irregularities that plague the organisation.
To do all these, the patrons form their own cadre groups that fight each other to establish supremacy in their areas, according to Jubo League leaders and sources in the law enforcement agencies. CHANCHAL Shakhawat Hossain Chanchai, an accused in the Milky murder case, is one such "criminal" in Jubo League.
Another top accused in the case is Zahidul Islam Tipu, general secretary of Awami League’s Motijheel unit.
Both of them are on the run, police said.
Chanchai, 44, organising secretary of Dhaka City (north) unit Jubo League is a stark example of how notorious criminals are using the AL’s youth wing.
Chanchai, who now lives at Gulshan's Niketan and rides a Prado, had entered the crime world around 1988 as a thief and mugger, while living at south Badda in the capital with his mother and two brothers, said locals of Badda.
Forming a gang in 1998
with Dulal, Zia and Sohel, Chanchai carried out various illegal activities, including land grabbing and extortion, at Anandanagar and Merul-Badda.
The group flexed its muscle after Chanchai abducted and later married a sister of Khalil, leader of another gang of Badda area during the time.
In 2008, he met a minister through the minister's assistant personal secretary.
In 2009, he joined Tarun League (another pro-AL youth body) and became vice-president of its Dhaka City committee.
“About one and a half months ago he joined Jubo League's committee by spending Tk 50 lakh. In fact, the committee's formation was delayed just to include Chanchai," said a Jubo Leader of Dhaka City (north) unit, wishing anonymity.
Iqbal Hossain, officer-in-charge of Badda Police Station, said: "Chanchai is an accused in one murder case and three other cases for attempts to murder filed with our station."
Contacted, Jubo League Chairman Omar Faroque Chowdhury admitted that there might be some criminals in Jubo League, as it was a big organisation.
He, however, claimed that whenever they received any allegations of criminal activities against any member they had taken immediate action against him.
