A Narayanganj court yesterday fixed July 8 to pass an order on the no-confidence petition filed against the charge-sheet submitted by the detectives dropping the names of five accused in the seven-murder case.
Selina Islam, wife of one victim Narayanganj City Corporation Councillor Nazrul Islam, filed the petition with the court of Senior Judicial Magistrate HM Shafikul Islam in Narayanganj on May 11.
After hearing the petition, Judge HM Shafikul fixed the date for passing an order. The petition said names of five people mentioned in the complaint was dropped from the submitted charge-sheet.
Selina also claimed that many other names were also dropped although their involvement in the killings were found during the investigations.
On April 8 this year, the detectives submitted the charge-sheet of the seven-murder case against 35, naming local Awami League leader Nur Hossain as the prime accused. The others included 25 members of Rapid Action Battalion (RAB), including their ex-top officials Tareque Sayeed Mohammad, Arif Hossain and SM Masud Rana.
In April 2014, seven people including Narayanganj city panel mayor Nazrul Islam and senior lawyer Chandan Sarker were abducted and their bodies were later fished out of the Shitalakkhya river.
Nazrul’s father-in-law Shahidul Islam alleged that RAB personnel abducted and killed Nazrul in exchange for Tk6 crore from local ward councillor Nur Hossain.
The three former RAB officials have confessed their involvement in the killings.
