Draft Verdict Leak

Detectives find 'vital documents'

Staff Correspondent
Detectives yesterday collected some "important evidence" from the International Crimes Tribunal office regarding the leak of the draft verdict against BNP lawmaker Salauddin Quader Chowdhury.
They also interrogated several officials at the tribunal and got some information important for the investigation into the leak, said Krishna Pada Roy, deputy commissioner of Detective Branch (south), Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP).
He, however, did not elaborate.

After a visit to the tribunal, DC Krishna told reporters that Detective Branch of police had taken Nayon Ali, detained in connection with the leak, to the tribunal office where he helped them collect the evidence.
Nayon, a cleaner of the court, and Faruk Hossain, an office assistant at the registrar's office of the tribunal, were arrested on Friday and placed on remand for eight days each the following day.
Police are yet to arrest another accused, Mehedi Hasan, an assistant to Salauddin's lawyer Fakhrul Islam.
Detectives filed the case against the trio and several other unnamed people with Shahbagh Police Station on Friday following an investigation prompted by filing of a general diary by the tribunal registrar.
At a press briefing on Friday, Joint Commissioner of DMP Monirul Islam said Nayon had confessed to his involvement in the leak.
DC Krishna yesterday said DB police had also talked to the tribunal justices about the leak.
A high official of DB prefer-
ring anonymity said they were keeping watch on some tribunal staff and looking into political affiliation of those and their family members.
Detectives are also examining the computers seized from the tribunal office and the chamber of Salauddin's lawyer Fakhrul to find the track record of the portable devices used in these computers.
Besides, they are tying to ascertain from where the draft verdict was digitally transferred and then uploaded on websites.
On Tuesday, the ICT-1 awarded the BNP leader death sentence for committing crimes against humanity in Chittagong during the Liberation War in 19 71.
Soon after the verdict was delivered, his wife Farhat Quader Chowdhury claimed before journalists that she had already received "a copy of the judgment", saying it was retrieved from a computer of the law secretary and that it had been written by the law ministry.
During the pronouncement of the verdict, the accused himself made similar claims standing in the dock.
