War crimes: Probe against SQ Chowdhury begins
A team of International Crimes Tribunal (ICT) yesterday started investigating the involvement of detained BNP standing Committee member Salahuddin Quader Chowdhury in crimes against humanity in Chittagong during the 1971 Liberation War.
Led by former Additional Deputy Inspector General of Police (IGP) and Chief Coordinator of the war crimes investigation agency Abdul Hannan Khan, the 13-member investigation team arrived on Tuesday night.
Since September last year, ICT investigation teams visited various areas of the district to collect information.
Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) Nurul Islam said they have gathered ample evidence during their previous visits which led them to the crimes committed by SQ Chowdhury and others in 1971.
He termed the current weeklong visit as continuation of the ongoing probe.
