His two organisations want re-investigation

Again rejecting the charge-sheet pressed by the criminal investigation department, two garment workers' organisations yesterday demanded re-investigation into murder of their leader Aminul Islam to bring the 'real' killers to book soon.

The Bangladesh Garments and Industrial Workers Federation (BGIWF) and Bangladesh Centre for Workers Solidarity (BCWS) at a press conference at Dhaka Reporters Unity made the demand marking the fourth anniversary of the killing of Aminul.

Aminul, an organiser of BCWS and president of BGIWF for Savar and Ashulia area, went missing after he was taken away from his Ashulia office by his acquaintance Mustafizur Rahman on April 4, 2012. His body was found at Ghatail in Tangail a day later with several torture marks. According to the autopsy report, the labour leader was beaten to death. Ghatail police and later Tangail detectives investigated the murder case.

Later, Fazlul Kabir, assistant superintendent of CID, pressed the charge-sheet on January 8, 2014 only against Mustafizur who is still on the run.

The speakers at the press conference said the 'real' killers were excluded in the charge sheet.

President of BGIWF Babul Akhter said at least three persons were directly involved in the murder and claimed that Mustafizur was a source of a director of an intelligence agency as well as some officials of DEPZ. So, without arresting these persons for interrogation, the investigation should not be considered as a completed one, said Babul.

Babul alleged that they submitted some allegations to the CID but it did not take it into its account in the investigation.
