| 2007-11-21 | |
| Former BNP lawmaker from Nilphamari-4 constituency Amzad Hossen Sarkar and thirteen others have been chargesheeted in Kazi Rubel murder case. The chargesheet was submitted to the court of district and sessions judge on Monday. The court will hear 26 witnesses from January 6 to 16. Amzad Hossen Sarkar and his younger brother Rashidul Alam Sarkar, president of Saidpur Jatiyatabadi Jubo Dal, both in Rangpur jail, were produced before the court on Monday under tight security as hundreds of Amzad supporters crowded court premises. The other 12 accused now in bail were also produced before the court. They are Saidpur BNP president principal Abdul Gafur, Saidpur Jamaat-e-Islami Ameer Luthfar Rahman, Saidpur Chhattra Dal president Liton, and BNP leaders and activists Kazi Ekramul Haque, Tarik Aziz, Ruhul Amin, Heera, Shamsul Alam, Nobin, Abdul Motin Sentu, Ziaul Haq Zia and Alam Master. Kazi Rubel, nephew of former Public Service Commission member Prof Mahfuzur Rahman, was secretary of Kashiram Belpukur union BNP. Prof Mahfuzur Rrahman was an aspirant for BNP nomination from Nilphamari-4 for parliamentary election which was to be held in January this year. Sources claimed that Kazi Rubel supported Mahfuzur Rahman, which angered Amzad Hossain Sarkar. In the evening of October 30 last year, Amzad Hossain staged a showdown with about 100 motorcycles and reached Sepaiganj market in Kasiram Belpukur, which is close to Kazi Rubel's house.
