Andha Sangstha Secretary Murder
Police to seek remand for three
Police will seek fresh remand for three visually impaired people today, held in connection with the murder of the general secretary of Jatiya Andha Sangstha, an organisation for the visually impaired, after a two-day remand.
Hasina Akhter, wife of murdered Khalilur Rahman, filed a case with Mirpur Police Station against eight visually impaired people. Hasina alleged that the three were allegedly present in a meeting, which resolved to kill Khalilur using hired criminals.
Officer-in-Charge (OC) Kazi Wazed Ali of Mirpur Police Station yesterday said the three, claiming to be innocent, alleged that Ayub Ali, defeated by Khalilur in the organisation's general secretary election, might know something.
The three said Khalilur embezzled huge amounts of money, received as foreign grant and proceedings of the organisation's lottery ticket sale, creating serious resentment among the common visually impaired people, said the OC.
Minhaz, one of the three, was defeated in the organisation's president post election, said the OC, adding that police are raiding different places to nab Ayub who is on the run.
Khalilur was shot dead allegedly by his rivals at a house in city's Mirpur on Saturday night.
