Ivy trying to protect someone: Shamim Osman

Narayanganj City Mayor Selina Hayat Ivy is trying to protect someone by blaming the so-called 'godfathers' for the seven murders, local MP Shamim Osman has alleged.
The Awami League leader also expressed doubt over the manner in which the bodies were found floating in the Shitalakhyya River even after the abductors dumped them 'cutting their stomachs and tying up bricks on the corpses'.
He thinks the motive behind the killings might have been to destabilise the country.
Nur Hossain, who was the vice-president of the ruling party's Siddhirganj unit at that time, was 'somehow' involved with the multiple murders, Osman claimed.
He said Ivy alleged the 'godfathers were involved' even after the arrested former RAB officials had confessed to their crimes in court.
"I think she is trying to save someone despite the confessional statements (of the RAB men) under Section 164," he said.
Osman was speaking to reporters Tuesday after emerging from an interrogation by the public administration ministry's probe committee on the murders at the Secretariat.
Starting from 11:30am, investigators quizzed Osman for almost two and a half hours at the office of the enquiry body's convener and the ministry's Additional Secretary Shahjahan Ali Molla. Molla told reporters that Osman was interrogated as 'a local MP and witness'.-, according to a news agency.
After being questioned by the probe team on Monday, Mayor Ivy told reporters that the 'godfathers of Narayanganj' were 'directly and indirectly' involved in the sensational seven murders.
Regarding her allegation, Shamim Osman told reporters, "She did not take my name this time. At first she had been taking my name a lot. And now she is mentioning godfathers. She won't be saying that too in future." The MP termed Ivy 'a corrupt woman' and said, "I don't even consider her important."
