7-Murder

Probe body questions Rab chief

Staff Correspondent
A government probe committee yesterday questioned the Rab DG over the sensational seven-murder case in Narayanganj, seeking information about the elite force's involvement in the gruesome killings.
The probe committee tried to know if the elite force had any information about the killings, said Shahjahan Ali, the committee chief and additional
secretary to the public administration ministry.
Shahjahan also said the probe body sought the Rab chiefs suggestion on how such incidents can be avoided in future.
Shahjahan made the comments after the two-hour questioning of Rab Director General Mukhlesur Rahman at the secretariat in the capital.
Asked whether the Rab headquarters had any knowledge of the murders, Shahjahan replied that it will be addressed in the investigation report which, he added, will be submitted very soon.
Following widespread allegations of Rab members' involvement in the killings, nine Rab men have so far been arrested in connection with the case.
"As I am the DG of Rab, it is proper to question me in this connection," said Mukhlesur after emerging from the questioning.
"I answered everything that the probe body wanted to know," he said
while leaving the secretariat premises hurriedly.
Formed on May 7 upon a High Court order, the probe body so far questioned around 400 people in connection with the case, including Col Ziaul Ahsan, additional director general of Rab, Awami League lawmaker Shamim Osman and Mayor Selina Hayat Ivy of Narayanganj City Corporation.
Replying to a query about Nur Hossain, Shjahan said the government is very keen on bringinghim back from India.
Nur, the prime accused in the case, had fled the country two days after the murders and is now in prison in India.
Shahjahan also said the trial process will not halt if a witness remains traceless, or dies.
On April 27, seven people --Narayanganj City Corporation panel mayor Nazrul Islam, his four associates, senior lawyer Chandan Sarker and his driver -- were kidnapped in Narayanganj. Later, their bodies were found floating in the Shitalakkhya river.
