| [Bangla Daily Star] A Dhaka court yesterday directed Keraniganj police to submit the probe report by August 2 in a case filed against Jamaat top brass Matiur Rahman Nizami and Ali Ahsan Mohammad Mojahid and seven others for killing two freedom fighters during the 1971 Liberation War. Senior Judicial Magistrate Taiyabul Hasan passed the order as Officer-in-Charge (OC) Mohammad Asaduzzaman of Keraniganj Police Station, also investigation officer (IO) of the case, failed to submit the report by yesterday. Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami chief Nizami was produced before the court yesterday on schedule. Nizami Jamaat Secretary General Mojahid and its Nayeb-e Ameer Delwar Hossain Sayedee were arrested on June 29 after a Dhaka court ordered their arrest on charges of hurting religious sentiment of the Muslims. Later on June 30, Nizami and Mojahid were shown arrested in the case. On December 17 of 2007, Mozaffar Ahmad Khan, Dhaka district unit Muktijoddha commander, filed the murder case against Nizami, Mojahid and seven others for killing two freedom fighters--Osman Gani and Golam Mostafa alias Tukub Ali--on November 25 in 1971. Other accused in the case are two assistant secretary generals of Jamaat Mohammad Abdul Quader Mollah and Mohammad Quamruzzaman, Keraniganj upazila unit Amir Haji Nazim Uddin, Islami Chhatra Sangha leader KG Karim Babla, Abul Kashem, Foyzur Rahman Foyaz and Yasin. The last three were Al-Badr, Razakar and Al-Shams activists during the war. The plaintiff said when the nation was on the threshold of victory on November 24 in 1971, his nephew Osman Gani and Golam Mostafa went to their houses to meet their parents and relatives. Next day the Al-Shams and Al-Badr militias, dressed in grey, surrounded their houses and hacked them to death at about 8:30am in the morning. |
