[Dhaka Tribune] Two more suspected killers of blogger Niladri Chatterjee have been placed in durance vileYou have the right to remain silent... by the Detective Branch in the capital. In separate drives, the DB police arrested Kauser Hossain Khan, 29, and Kamal Hossain Sarder, 29 -- both suspected members of the banned myrmidon outfit Ansarullah Bangla Team. Kauser was picked up from the capital's Mirpur 10 area around 5pm yesterday and Kamal was arrested from Dholaipar area of Shyampur around 6:30pm, said DB Deputy Commissioner (east) Mahbub Alam. Both of the detainees were previously arrested for the attempted murder of another blogger -- Asif Mohiuddin -- two years ago and later came out on bail, the DB official added. Kauser and Kamal are both charge-sheeted accused in Asif Mohidduin's case. The two arrestees will be produced before a Dhaka court today with a ten-day remand plea, Mahbub added. On August 7, secular blogger and war crimes trial campaigner Niladri Chatterjee was hacked to death by four person or persons unknown at his Goran residence in Dhaka. Also known as Niloy Neel on blogging platforms and Facebook, the youth -- aged around 30 -- was the fourth blogger to be killed since February. On August 13, detectives arrested two suspected Ansarullah members, Sad Al Nahian and Masud Rana, in connection with the murder of Niladri. A Dhaka court placed both of them under an eight-day remand on August 14, while they were placed under a fresh two-day remand which is set to start from today. |
