The family of Mohammed Ali, who was killed in a clash on Wednesday over a pro-
posed coal-fired power
plant in Gondamara of
Banskhal i upazi l a i n
Chittagong, yesterday
alleged that police are not
recording a murder case
based on their written alle-
gation.
Al i ‘ s brother-in-law
Ataur Rahman Jishan said, “In our written allegation we accused 29 persons by name,
including one Liaqat Ali as
the prime accused, and
around 150 unnamed ones.” Banskhali Police Station Officer-in-Charge Alamgir
Hossain first asked us to
settle the matter by receiving
compensation from the
accused, he said.
As they refused to do so, the OC asked for their state-ment assuring them of
including the written allega-
tion, he said.
“We stayed at the police
station from 7:00pm on
Thursday to 12:00. At
10:00am yesterday, we went
there. But still then, they
said the allegation was not
recorded,” said Ataur.
Although Ali was mur-
dered in front of their eyes,
police are trying to cover up
the incident, alleged Ataur.
When contacted, OC
Alamgir said they did not
record the family’s state-
ment as a sub-inspector had
filed a case against 150 to
200 unnamed persons
before the family went there.
“We would consider their
written allegation during
investigation.”
He, however, denied the
allegation of asking the fam-
ily to negotiate with the
accused.
