Three former officers of Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) – ex-Lt Col Tareque Sayeed Mohammad, former Major Arif Hossain and ex-Lt Commander MM Rana – along with 10 others arrested in connection with Narayanganj 7 murders were produced before a Narayanganj court on Monday. They were produced before the court of Senior Judicial Magistrate AHM Shafiqul in the case filed by Selina Islam, wife of slain Narayanganj City Corporation councilor and panel mayor Nazrul Islam. Besides, an eyewitness to the multiple murders, Mohammad Shahin, gave his deposition before the same court under Section 164. Earlier, the court recorded the statements of three more eyewitnesses – Shahidul Islam Khokon, his daughter Rabeya Akhter Akhi and Jamal Uddin – in the 7-killing case. Meanwhile, Churchill, the bodyguard of Nur Hossain, the prime accused in the 7-murder case, was not produced before the court during Monday’s hearing. Investigation officer and the district’s DB officer-in-charge Mamunur Rashid Mondal said they did not produce Churchill as he was on remand in another murder case. After the day’s proceedings, the court fixed August 20 for next hearing, according to UNB.
