Toki Manch demands arrest of Shamim Osman

NARAYANGANJ: Alleging that Awami League MP Shamim Osman was involved in the sensational seven murders, Santras Nirmul Toki Manch, an anti-terrorist local organisation, Friday demanded his immediate arrest.
“The recorded conversations between Shamim Osman and Nur Hossain over the brutal killings of seven people, including Narayanganj city ward councillor Nazrul Islam and lawyer Chandan Kumar Sarker, have been released through the investigating agency. We came to know through newspaper reports that Shamim Osman had hands in the killing,” Manch convener Rafiur Rabbi and its member secretary Halim Azad said in a joint statement, according to a news agency.
Observing that Nur Hossain was a creation of Shamim Osman, an MP from Fatullah-Siddhirganj constituency, the statement said, “He turned desperate and became a godfather under his (Shamim’s) patronage. We came to know from newspaper reports that it was Shamim Osman who helped Nur Hossain flee the country.”
Claiming that many facts indicate Shamim Osman’s connection with the seven killings, it also said: “We demand that the government immediately arrest and interrogate Shamim Osman and ensure fair trial of the killings.”
