Petition filed with HC seeking further probe

A revision petition has been filed with the High Court seeking its order on the police to conduct further investigation into the Narayanganj seven-murder case.

Selina Islam, wife of Narayanganj city panel mayor Nazrul Islam, who was among the seven victims abducted and killed in April last year, recently submitted the petition, saying that five local people's names were included in the first information report (FIR) but were dropped from the charge sheet.

The five are Yasin Miah, Aminul Haque, Hasmat Ali, Iqbal Hossain and Anwar Hossain, said Deputy Attorney General Shaikh AKM Moniruzzaman Kabir.

After a brief hearing yesterday, the HC fixed tomorrow for resumption. Petitioner's lawyer Montu Ghosh told the court that more information could be known, if principal accused Nur Hossain, who had been brought back to the country from abroad, was interrogated.

Seven people including Nazrul were abducted from the Dhaka-Narayanganj link road on April 27, 2014 and their bodies were found floating in the Shitalakkhya river a few days later.
