Ctg Shrine Case

Hearing of ex-Rab official deferred

Our Correspondent, Ctg
A Chittagong court yesterday rescheduled the hearing of the remand of Lt Col (sacked) Zulfiqar Ali Majumder, accused of robbing Tk 2.07 crore from a shrine in Chittagong six months ago, to May 10. The order came as the relevant documents against the other accused were not produced before the court. Following a prayer by the defence, the court also asked the authorities concerned to see if Zulfiqar is entitled to divisional facilities (separate facilities inside the jail) as per the jail code. Zulfiqar, former commanding officer of Rapid Action Battalion (Rab)-7, was arrested from one of his relatives' house on Daktarer Goli in the capital's Moghbazar area on May 3.
