Family members of victims demanded security as accomplices of Nur Hossain, the prime accused in seven-murder case in Narayanganj, have been threatening them since he brought back to the country from India.
Family members of the victims made the allegations while addressing a rally at Siddhirganj, Narayanganj yesterday morning.
During the one-hour rally, they demanded remand for Nur Hossain to know the name of perpetrators who were behind the killings of seven people.
Selina Islam Beuty, widow of slain councillor Nazrul Islam, said: “It is our demand to place Nur Hossain on remand. If the government does so, many unknown stories will be revealed. Who were financiers of the killings? Who were the planners? Everything will be revealed.”
Demanding security, she said: “We are living with insecurity. The government should ensure security for us.”
Mijanur Rahman Ripon, brother of slain Moniruzzaman Swapan, said: “Cohorts of Nur Hossain have been threatening. We want remand for Noor Hossain. We also demand capital punishment of him.”
Abul Khayer, father of slain driver of Moniruzzaman Swapan, said: “We want to know the real incident from Nur Hossain. So, he should be placed on remand.”
Apart from this, Abdus Salam, brother of Nazrul Islam, and Shafiqul Islam, brother-in-law, addressed the rally.
Nur Hossain was brought back to the country from India on Thursday, a day after Ulfa leader Anup Chetia was handed over to the Indian government.
On Friday, he was produced before the court of Chief Judicial Magistrate Shahidul Islam. He was shown arrested in 11 cases, including the seven-murder case.
After hearing, the court has sent seven-murder case prime accused Nur Hossain to jail.
On April 27, 2014, Narayanganj City Corporation panel mayor Nazrul Islam and six others were abducted. Later, their bodies were recovered from Shitalaykha River on April 30. Nazrul’s wife filed an abduction case against Nur and several others on April 28.
