Sunday, 10 August 2014
A government investigation committee has said it will interrogate Narayanganj's local MP Shamim Osman and city Mayor Selina Hayat Ivy in connection with the sensational murder of seven, according to a news agency.
Probe body member secretary and public administration ministry's Deputy Secretary Abul Kashem Md Mohiuddin informed journalists of the latest development Sunday.
The questioning will take place at room of the ministry's Additional Secretary Shahjahan Ali Molla in the Secretariat Monday. Ivy will be questioned at 10am and Osman at 11:30am, said Mohiuddin.
Seven people, including Narayanganj City councillor Nazrul Islam and senior lawyer Chandan Kumar Sarkar, were abducted on Apr 27. Their bodies were found floating in the Shitalakhyya River several days later.
Islam's relatives claimed members of elite police unit RAB had carried out the abduction and murders for Tk 60 million that they received from prime suspect Awami League leader Nur Hossain.
So far, the investigation committee has questioned more than 350 people. That includes top RAB officials.
