Momin Murder
OC Rafiq, criminal Taj charged
A Dhaka court yesterday brought charges of conspiracy against the then officer-in-charge (OC) of Motijheel Police Station AKM Rafiqul Islam and top listed criminal Habibur Rahman Taj for killing college student Kamrul Islam Momin in September 2005.
Judge Mohammad Rezaul Islam of the Speedy Trial Tribunal-4 passed the order after Special Public Prosecutor SM Rafiqul Islam submitted a petition for including the accused as conspirators in the killing.
The court fixed January 6 for next hearing of the case.
The previous court on October 5 last year framed charges against the two accused without bringing any charges of conspiracy even though they were the masterminds behind the killing.
Earlier, another tribunal recorded statements of 16 prosecution witnesses, including complainant of the case. But it sent the case back to its previous court, as it could not complete its trial within the stipulated time in 135 workdays.
Seven other accused Monir Howlader, 'Thotkata' Babu, Hasibul Haq Jony, Tareq alias Zia, Shakhawat Hossain Jewel, Zafar Ahmed and Sharifuddin -- are still at large. They went into hiding since the case was filed.
Kamrul Islam Momin, 22, a student of Dhaka Commerce College, was shot dead near his Ibrahimpur house in the city on September 13 of 2005.
