Three alleged war criminals were sued in Moulvibazar on Sunday. Rafique Miah, son of martyred Niamat Ullah of north Hingazia village under Kulaura upazila filed the case with the Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate's Court. The accused are Salequr Reza Chowdhury, 70, Nakibur Reza Chowdhury, 67, and Monibur Reza Chowdhury, 60, three sons of late Amanur Reza Chowdhury of the same village. Rafique stated in his case that his father Niamat Ullah was caretaker of the house of one Gopika Ranjan Mitra of the area. The accused kicked out Niamat from the house and occupied it by force just before the liberation war. As Niamat Ullah helped the freedom fighters, the three collaborators killed Niamat and vanished the body without trace.
