A case was filed with the Judicial Magistrate Court, Feni, on Sunday against 10 'rajakars' for killing a man at Mandari village under Sonagazi upazila of the district on November 28, 1971. The accused are former chairman of Char Majlishpur Union Parishad and the then rajakar commander Obaidul Haque, Abdul Quader of Gazaria village, Maulana Jalal of Durgapur village, Mahbubul Haq, Abul Kashem, Abu Bakar Siddique of Paikpara village, Tajul Islam and Safiullah of Gunak village, Sheikh Ahmed of Mandari village and Abdul Mannan of Brahmani village. Ruhul Amin, son of slain Abdul Jabbar of Mandari village, filed the case. Magistrate Emdad Ullah asked the officer-in-charge of Sonagazi Police Station to take necessary legal steps in this regard. The complainant in his case statement said the accused led by commander Obaidul Haque of Bishnupur High School razakar camp caught his father at Kuthirhat Bazar on November 28, 1971. They beat him up for campaigning in favour of Awami Legue candidate Taleb Ali during parliamentary election in December 1970 and took him to the camp, the complainant alleged. Complainant Ruhul Amin further said the accused killed his father and threw the body into a nearby river. Relatives later recovered Jabbar's body from the river and buried it at the family graveyard.
