The probe agency of the war crimes tribunal has found proof that former Jatiya Party lawmaker Mohammad Abdul Jabbar was affiliated with war crimes.
“Jabbar was a local chairman of the peace committee, a local front of Pakistani collaborators,” the probe agency said in a press briefing in the capital on Monday.
The probe report will be handed over to prosecution on Tuesday, Abdul Hannan Khan, the coordinator of the investigation agency said.
The body has found proof of five charges -- including murder, genocide, forced conversion to Islam, arson, loot and formation of armed Razakar forces -- against Abdul Jabbar.
“His father-in-law was a local leader of the Muslim league in Pirojpur,” Khan said.
Jabbar, now 82 years old and a native of Mothbaria upazila, Pirojpur, was elected twice as lawmaker from his upazila with Jatiya Party ticket.
He is the second accused from Jatiya Party after Syed Mohammad Qaisar from Habiganj.
