N'GANJ 7-MURDER

BNP demands arrest of Col Ziaul Ahsan

Staff Correspondent
The BNP yesterday demanded that law enforcement agencies arrest Rab Additional Director General Col Ziaul Ahsan and others for their alleged involvement in the gruesome seven-murder in Narayanganj.
Rizvi Ahmed, joint secretary general of BNP, made the demand at a press conference at the party's Nayapaltan headquarters.
He said two arrested Rab officials have already confessed that Ziaul Ahsan was involved in the incident.
"People are stunned as Col Ziaul Ahsan and others are not arrested yet although the arrestee Rab officials in their confessional statements [to courts] mentioned their names," added Rizvi.
Former Rab-11 officials Maj Arif Hossain and Lt Commander MM Rana have confessed their roles in the seven-murder incident under section 164 of the code of criminal procedure, according to media reports. The two have been fired from their jobs.
"Maj Arif and Lt Commander Rana have confessed to their crimes and revealed the names of those who ordered the killings," said the BNP leader adding that "Col Ziaul Ahsan and a godfather are in that list, according to newspaper reports."
Narayanganj panel mayor Nazrul Islam, along with four of his aides, was abducted from the town on April 27. Lawyer Chandan Sarkar and his driver were also kidnapped on the same day. Later, the decomposed bodies of the seven were found floating in the Shitalakkhya.
Shahidul Islam, father-in-law of
Nazrul, claimed that Rapid Action Battalion men kidnapped and killed the seven in exchange for Tk 6 crore from Nur Hossain, a ward councillor of Narayanganj.
