The lone arrestee accused in the murder case of Hasinur Rahman, 52, cousin of Kushtia 1 (Daulatpur) MP AKM Sarwar Jahan, gave his confessional statement to the court of senior judicial magistrate in Kushtia on Sunday.
Mojibur Rahman Boyati, an accused in the case, during his confession under the section 164 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, said he alone killed Hasinur to take revenge for the murder of his son.
However, MP Sarwar alleged that only revenge may not be the reason behind the murder."Its a planned political assassination. A strong force exists behind the incident (Hasinur’s murder)."
On Sunday, a case has been filed over the murder of Awami League activist Hasinur.
