Hundreds of people have thronged on Saturday at the Siddhirganj Power Station in Narayanganj to give their deposition on the abductions and killings of seven people in the district.
It is the third phase of public hearing. On May 12 and 15, two phases of public hearing on the incident took place at Narayanganj circuit house.
The seven-member investigation body is holding the mass hearing following the High Court directive.
A total of 314 people registered their names to give their deposition on the abductions and killings of seven people. Of them, 198 gave deposition on Saturday.
Narayanganj City Corporation panel mayor Nazrul Islam and lawyer Chandan Sarkar along with five others were killed and their bodies were dumped into River Shitalakkhya after they were abducted on April 27.
The family members of Nazrul alleged that RAB 11 Commanding Officer Lt Col Tareq Sayeed Mohammad and two other RAB 11 officials – Major Arif Hossain and Lt Commander SM Masud Rana – killed all the seven persons for Tk6 crore.
Earlier on April 28 the authorities concerned had withdrawn all the three RAB-11 officials along with the Narayanganj superintendent of police and the deputy commissioner.
Following the allegations, the AFD sent Lt Col Tareq Sayeed Mohammad and Major Rana on premature retirement from the Army and Lt Commander SM Masud Rana on forced retirement from the Navy.
Meanwhile, the High Court on May 11 directed the government to arrest those RAB officials asking the RAB not to interfere in the arrest or investigation.
