Sunday, 1 November 2009
Kamrul Haque Swapan, younger brother of Major Dalim and Freedom Party leader Abdur Rahim were taken on a fresh four-day remand Saturday for further interrogation over the October 21 bomb attack on Awami League lawmaker Fazle Noor Taposh, reports UNB.
On the expiry of a first eight-day remand, detective police produced the two detained suspects before the Chief Metropolitan Magistrate's court with a prayer for another seven-day remand for further grilling trying to find their links with the incident.
The court, however, granted the investigators four days for the second spell of interrogation in connection with the bomb attack that occurred in the wake of trial of the murder of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib along with whom Taposh's father, Sheikh Moni, was also killed in the carnage of Aug 15, 1975.
Swapan and Rahim were taken on eight-days' remand after having been produced before a metropolitan court on October 23.
Barrister Taposh, a prosecution lawyer in the Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman murder case, came under the bomb attack on the night of October 21. He escaped unhurt, but 14 others were injured.
A case was filed with Motijheel police station in this connection the following day (Oct 22). The case was transferred to the Detective Branch of Police on Oct 23 for detecting the perpetrators.
Five teams, comprising two additional deputy commissioners and 12 ACs, have been formed to break the case.
The investigators have so far arrested six persons in the case. Of them, four are from the families of the ex-army officers sentenced to death in the Bangabandhu murder case.
The arrested persons are Mehnaz Rashid, daughter of fugitive convict Lt Col Khandaker Abdur Rashid, Nazmul Hasan alias Sohel and Mahbubul Hasan, sons of condemned convict Lt Col (retd) Mohiuddin Ahmed, Kamrul Haque Swapan, younger brother of convict Major (retd) Shariful Haq Dalim and Freedom Party leaders Abdur Rahim and Sheikh Shafiullah Sofu.
