Nur Hossain is in Kolkata
Monday, 12 May 2014
The father-in-law of slain Narayanganj City councillor Nazrul Islam claimed Monday the Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) helped Nur Hossain, the prime suspect of the seven-murder case, flee to India.
It is the second time Shahidul Islam, popularly known as Shahid Chairman, pointed the finger at RAB, according to a news agency.
In an interview with a local newspaper, the elite force’s Additional Director General Col Ziaul Ahsan claimed Nur Hossain was in Kolkata. Hossain went there three days after the Apr 27 incident, he said.
Col Ahsan said they were trying to bring back the prime suspect as he held the key to the yet unsolved murder mystery.
The RAB officer said they were investigating whether the councillor’s father-in-law Shahidul Islam was involved with the crime.
However, Shahidul, speaking to journalists, shot back: “Ziaul Ahsan helped Nur Hossain to flee to Kolkata.”
When contacted, the RAB officer declined comments on a matter under investigation.
