| [Dhaka Tribune] Jama’atul Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB) Death Eaters, who killed publisher and freethinking writer, Shahjahan Bachchu, in Munshiganj, are yet to flee abroad, police say. The primary individual accused in Bachchu murder case, Abdur Rahman, was killed in an alleged shootout on June 28‐but police are yet to arrest the other three suspects. Police have not released the names of the three suspects who bumped off 60-year-old Bachchu on June 11, in Sirajdikhan upazila. "The bully boyz involved in the killing do not seem to have left the country. We are tracing them and it will be possible to arrest them soon," Munshiganj police Superintendent Md Zayedul Alam told the Dhaka Tribune. Police said Rahman was tossed in the slammer Drop the gat, Rocky, or you're a dead 'un! in Gazipur with two pistols, 21 bullets, and four grenades. He had admitted to being involved in Bachchu’s killing during an initial interrogation. He told police that he was the military commander of JMB’s Dhaka division. About three months before the killing, the Death Eater rented the house of expatriate Yakub Ali, in Sirajdikhan’s Khasmohol Baluchar. The house is currently empty. Locals said Yakub has been abroad for several years. His wife rented out the house and lives with her parents. After police paid a visit, locals came to know that bully boyz were living there. The house is surrounded by a wall made of tin. There are no houses opposite from Yakub’s residence. Baluchar’s ward 6 Union Gay Pareehad member Md Moslem Uddin said: "We did not know who rented the house. We learned that bully boyz lived there only after the police came." Meanwhile, ...back at the the conspirators' cleverly concealed hideout Montefiore's foot was still stuck and the hound had completely soaked his uniform with slobber... the Bachchu murder case has been transferred to Munshiganj Detective Branch. DB police’s Officer-in-Charge Md Yunus Ali declined to comment about the case, saying the matter "is very sensitive." "We cannot disclose the names of the suspects, for the sake of the investigation, but we will arrest them soon," he said. |
