The visually impaired people brought out a procession yesterday morning in front of the organisation's central office at Bakshi Bazar demanding trial of killers.
OC of Mirpur Police Station Kazi Wazed Ali said till date they found 11 case have been filed against Khalil.
A source in the Jatiya Andha Sangstha said that Khalilur Rahman owned a house at Mirpur, a market at Savar and huge savings in several bank accounts, which he allegedly earned through dishonest ways. The rival group became vindictive against him as a result of his alleged misdeeds.
Sohrab Hossain, a supporter of Khalil, claimed that the allegations brought against Khalil by his rival group stemmed from their defeat in the election of the organisation.
Sohrab claimed that the cases against Khalil were conspiratorial. He posed a question as to how a visually impaired man can run illegal arms trade.
