Police yesterday submitted charge sheet against five people, including Jama'atul Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB) chief Shaekh Abdur Rahman and Jagrata Muslim Janata Bangladesh (JMJB) chief Siddiqul Islam alias Bangla Bhai, in connection with the bomb blast in the port city on November 29.

The other accused are Abdur Rahman's younger brother Ataur Rahman Sunny, JMB regional commander of Chittagong Mohammad alias Javed Iqbal and JMB suicide squad member Ahmed Hossain, who died at the Chittagong Medical College Hospital of injuries sustained in the bomb blast.

Investigating Officer (IO) Leching Prue submitted the charge sheet before the Chief Metropolitan Magistrate's Court (CMM).

Later, the investigating officer requested the court to exclude Ahmed Hossain (since deceased) from the charge sheet.

Among the accused, Ataur Rahman Sunny and Javed Iqbal are now in jail custody while the others are absconding.

Police constable Razib Barua and a leader of local Swechchhasebak League Shahabuddin were killed on the spot and 16 people injured in the twin bomb blasts at the Chittagong Court Building.
