Fazlul Huq Murder
Quizzing halts as AL leader ill
Detectives could not start interrogating Agargaon ward unit Awami League president Noor Mohammad yesterday over killing of the unit's general secretary Fazlul Huq.
Noor was not interrogated due to his illness, said court sources. DB personnel produced the AL leader before a Dhaka Court with a seven-day remand prayer yesterday.
But the court sent him to jail and ordered the authority concerned for his treatment, said the sources. The next day for hearing on the remand prayer is not fixed, said detectives.
In the remand forwarding, DB said that Dulal, one of the arrestees in connection with the murder case, stated before a magistrate that Noor was mastermind of Fazlul Huq murder.
It also stated that cadres of Fazlul carried the gun attack on Noor due to political rivalry between them, which Noor assumed.
DC Mahbub Rahman of DB said due to sickness of Noor they could not interrogate him. After Noor's recovery, they will take him on remand through a court for interrogation.
Noor Mohammad, 68, is AL unit president of ward 41 of Dhaka City Corporation. He was admitted to National Institute of Chest Diseases and Hospital, Mohakhali.
Unidentified people gunned Noor down at West Agargaon Bazar, as Fazlul Huq was shot dead on January 14. Detectives arrested Noor on Thursday on his release from hospital.
