No trace of Bangabandhu killers in India: Goswami

Wednesday, 3 September 2014


India's Home Secretary Anil Goswami says the country's intelligence has so far failed to trace two Bangabandhu killers widely believed to be hiding in India.
After five army officers involved in Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman's assassination were hanged, seven others charged with the murder have been absconding in various countries, according to a news agency.
Two of them, Risaldar Moslem Uddin and Abdul Majed are widely believed to hiding somewhere in India.
But Goswami told Bangladesh State Minister for Home Affairs Asaduzzaman Khan KamalĀ  Wednesday in Dhaka that Indian agencies have so far failed to trace them despite sustained efforts.
Goswami has been in Dhaka for a meeting with his Bangladesh counterpart to review crucial security issues.
He said India has no objection to extradite Nur Hossain, prime accused in the sensational Narayanganj seven murders.
Kamal said that India has not 'officially' sought the extradition of ULFA leader Anup Chetia who has been in Bangladesh prisons since his arrest in 1997.
Anil Goswami said India is keen to implement the land boundary agreement with Bangladesh, for which a constitutional amendment is needed.
Goswami also met Foreign Minister AH Mahmood Ali later in the day.
