"From the very beginning, Ivy had been claiming that RAB has no link with the incident… she didn't mention my name Monday either. I hope she won't mention godfather in the future, too. The way she talked to journalists and in TV talk-shows Monday it gives an impression she's trying to save someone involved in the killings," Shamim said this while talking to journalists after giving his deposition to the seven-member probe body formed by the government to investigate the gruesome seven-murder incident in Narayanganj.
He also claimed that Nur Hossain, the prime accused in the case, was not his man and said Mayor Ivy had put him in high positions of different committees of the Narayanganj City Corporation (NCC).
"I think Nur Hossain had involvement in the incident in one way or the other. It might be before or after the abduction of the seven people. He must be brought back home. Had I had the power I would have brought him back the next day."
Earlier on Monday, NCC Mayor Ivy said godfathers were involved in the Narayanganj seven-murder incident. "People know who are Narayanganj godfathers?" Ivy told reporters after the seven-member inquiry team interrogated her over the murders.
