Harun Murder
Court rejects family's plea against charge sheet
A Sylhet court yesterday rejected the “Naraji” (no confidence) petition of the victim's family against the charge sheet in college teacher Harun ur Rashid murder case.
A gang of eight people led by one Abdul Latif Kawsar allegedly stabbed Sylhet Government Women's College teacher Harun to death in front of his house at Goura Govinda Tila in the town on March 21, 2010 as he reprimanded college student Sujina Akhtar Munni over her relationship with Kawsar.
On May 3, 2011, the criminal investigation department (CID) filed the charge sheet against six people with the court against Alimul Islam, Russel Ahmed, Kawsar, college students Munni and Safia Khatun Lipi and hotel manager Lokman Ahmed.
Later, Harun's wife Afroza Harun rejected the charge sheet and filed the Naraji petition with the court alleging that all were done to save the real culprits.
Chief judicial magistrate of Sylhet Abu Syed Diljar Hossain also rejected the prayer for fresh investigation by Rapid Action Batalion (Rab), said court sources.
The court also fixed October 23 for next hearing of the case.
The victim's family will move to the High Court against the order, said counsel for the victim's family EU Shahidul Islam yesterday.
The names of four Jatiyatabadi Chhatra Dal men who were arrested just after the incident, had been dropped from the charge sheet.
