Biswajit Murder Trial Rickshaw-puller identifies 8 BCL men

Court Correspondent
A prosecution witness yesterday identified eight of the 21 Chhatra League men accused of killing Biswajit Das during a road blockade enforced by the BNP-led opposition on December 9 last year.
The 13 others are on the run.
"I could identify the rest too if they were in the dock," said Ripon Sardar, a rickshaw-puller, at a Dhaka court.
He appeared before the court to give his accounts of what had happened on that day before he took Bishwajit to the capital's Mitford Hospital where doctors declared him dead.
Ripon said he would not budge an inch even if anyone offered him Tk 1 crore.
Around 9:00am on the day of the incident, Ripon was near the Victoria Park in the old Dhaka. He saw activists of Chhatra League, a student body associated with the ruling Awami League, marching in procession in front of Jagannath University. All of a sudden, Ripon heard an explosion and then some people from the procession began chasing a man, who was later identified as Bishwajit Das, a tailor in the area.
They stabbed Bishwajit with sharp weapons. Bleeding from the wounds, he ran and took shelter inside the Intensive Dental Care.
Bishwajit begged for his life in vain, saying he was a Hindu and that he had not hurled any bomb, the witness told the court.
At one stage, with severe injuries Bishwajit ran and fell before Ripon's rickshaw and asked Ripon to take him to a hospital. He also gave the rickshaw-puller the address of his tailoring shop nearby.
Ripon said he had first taken him to the shop but as he found no one there, he rushed Bishwajit to the hospital.
"I always move around in the area and that is why I could identify those who had stabbed Bishwajit to death."
The witness said all the eight, who had been pre-
sented in the court, were involved in the killing.
Three other witnesses, including a metropolitan magistrate, gave their statements yesterday. They were also cross-examined by the defence lawyers.
Metropolitan Magistrate Shahriar Mahmud Adnan said he had recorded confessional statements of an accused, Emdadul Haque, on December 30 last year.
Judge ABM Nizamul Haque of the Speedy Trial Tribunal-4 recorded the statements of the witnesses and fixed tomorrow for the next hearing of the case.
