| 2009-03-10 |
| A naik subedar of Bangladesh Rifles (BDR) allegedly committed suicide by hanging himself in a bathroom of BDR headquarters in Pilkhana yesterday morning. Police said Mozammel Haq, 45, hanged himself with a napkin (gamchha) from the ventilator of the bathroom on 4th floor of the BDR 44 Battalion building. Guilty conscience? Or he not only knew where the bodies were buried but who buried them? Sub-Inspector of Lalbagh Police Station Delwar said on information they rushed in and recovered the hanging body of Mozammel from the headquarters. "Yo, Mr. Sub-Inspector Sahib! There's a body hanging in the 4th floor toiders!": "Outta my way!" Mozammel's brothers-in-law Abdul Kader and Abdur Razzaq told The Daily Star that he came to Dhaka around two moths ago to take part in the parade on the occasion of the BDR Week from BDR 36 battalion of Dinajpur sadar. "Wow! That's some shiny sandals!" "Yeah, I'm here for the parade!" "Mozammel was present inside Pilkhana headquarters during the mutiny. He surrendered and did not flee the headquarters," said Abdul Kader adding "After the mutiny, we have talked to him several times over phone and his wife Lovely Begum also talked to him three days ago." "I miss you, honey!" "I miss you, too, Snookums!" "I've got something special for you when you come home!" "Rrrrrrow!" "We do not think that he could commit suicide," he said "Not with what Lovely had waiting for him! She used to work in the circus, y'know!" and added, "During our conversation, we could not get any hint of his suicidal intentions." "She was an acrobat!" Mozammel was the father of a 10-year-old son, Naim, and daughter Mousumi who passed the SSC examinations last year. The body was sent to Mitford Hospital morgue for autopsy. Morgue sources said there was no mark of injuries on the body. Earlier, magistrate Aminur Rahman prepared the inquest (Surathal) report of the body. Meanwhile, CID ASP Abdul Kahar Akond, who is also the investigation officer of the Pilkhana carnage, said "Local police will carry out investigation and if needed, CID will take up the mater." |
