It is alleged that CID police is trying to divert the case to save the killers but investigation officer Sub Inspector Murshed refuted the allegation.

Fatik filed a case with Biswanath thana accusing 12 people. They include Mujib Ali, Sorab Ali, Abdul Bari, Ustar Ali, Shamshad Ali, Selim, Lechu Miah, Abul Hossain, Aftab Ali, Abdul Matin and Amir Hossain.

On the other hand, Jamal Ahmed, brother of victim Hosne Ara, filed a case with a magistrate court alleging that her sister was killed due to family feuds. He named the killers as Fatik Chowdhury's two brothers Farik Chowdhury and Manjur Chowdhury. They were aided by Swapan Miah of Dhonai village and Siddek of Kamalbazar, he said in his complaint.

The four persons arrested just after the gruesome murders and another person held on November 7 in their confessional statements before police and magistrate disclosed names of the alleged killers and how the double murders were planned. But none of the accused has been nabbed.

The case was transferred to the CID on September 11.
