Nusrat Murder

Siraj confesses to spreading rumour about her death

Gives testimony at Feni court

Staff Correspondent
Siraj Ud Daula, the prime accused in the Nusrat murder case, yesterday confessed to ordering two of his students to spread a rumour that she had died by suicide.
The suspended principal of Sonagazi Islamia Senior Fazil Madrasa gave his statement before the court of Justice Mamunur Rashid of Feni's Women and Children Oppression Prevention Tribunal, said Shah Alam, inspector of Police Bureau of Investigation.
Siraj gave the order to Nuruddin and Shahadat Hossain Shamim when they went to visit him in jail, added Alam, who is investigating the case.
Meanwhile, the government yesterday submitted a probe report to the High Court, saying that they had not found any "negligence" or "inaction" on the part of the madrasa's governing body Chairman PKM Enamul Karim in connection with the sexual harassment and killing of Nusrat Jahan Rafi.
The report was submitted by Deputy Attorney General Abdullah Al Mahmud Bashar before the HC bench of Justice FRM Nazmul Ahasan and Justice KM Kamrul Kader yesterday.
The report also claimed that it had not found any authenticity of the media reports that blamed Enamul, also the additional deputy commissioner (revenue) of Feni.
Additional Divisional
Commissioner Habibur Rahman of Chattogram conducted the enquiry as per an earlier order of the HC.
After receiving the report, the bench kept it in record, saying it would hold a hearing on the issue one week after the court reopens on October
13, following its upcoming annual vacation starting from August 30.
Following a writ petition, the HC bench on July 15 this year directed the government to conduct an enquiry against Enamul.
On the same day, the bench also observed that had Enamul taken appropriate action against principal Siraj Ud Daula for sexually harassing Nusrat, she might not have suffered such a consequence.
The court also issued a rule asking the government to explain in four weeks why Enamul's inaction should not be declared illegal.
The HC bench came up with the order and rule after hearing a writ petition filed by Supreme Court lawyer Eunus Ali Akond.
In the petition, Eunus said that the Sonagazi madrasa governing body chairman reportedly did not take any action against Siraj ud Daula even after Nusrat and her mother went to Enamul's office and requested him to do so. But Enamul not only refused, even he asked them to keep the incident a secret.
On April 6, a group of people poured kerosene on Nusrat and set her afire at the Feni madrasa for refusing to withdraw a sexual harassment case against the principal.
The 18-year-old girl lost her battle for life on April 10 - an incident that sparked outrage all over the country.
