The wife of slain Awami League leader Khairul Alam Mollah filed a case with Motijheel police station on Sunday, 54 hours after the leader was stabbed to death by some miscreants in the city’s Motijheel area.
Shefali Alam named seven people as accused in the murder case, including Jubo League and Awami League leaders.
According to the case details, the accused of the case were Jubo League’s 75 number ward unit Vice-President Tayeb Ali, General Secretary of Sayedabad Roads Transport Workers Union and Awami League leader Ali Akbar Babul and their supporters Jafor Sentu, Sumon and Naimur Rahman Durjay.
The case also accused five to six unidentified people, informed DM Farman Ali, officer-in-charge of Motijheel police station. Police have already began investigation in this regard, he added.
The First Information Report (FIR) said the victim had conflicts with the accused and often received extortion demands and death threats.
On the day of the killing, a meeting was held to solve the disputes between the two sides, but the talks reportedly failed to settle the matter and Khairul was killed soon after leaving the meeting.
On Thursday, some miscreants stabbed to death Khairul Alam Mollah, organising secretary of Awami League’s Jatrabari unit and general secretary of Sayedabad Bus Terminal Owners Association.
Asked about the delay in filing the case, the victim’s wife Shefali Alam told the Dhaka Tribune that the case was filed after completing Khairul’s burial process and consulting with the relatives.
Sub-Inspector Jahirul Islam Munna, investigation officer of the case, said some clues have been found and expressed hopes that the mystery will be solved soon.
