ICT wants probe report on charges
The International Crimes Tribunal-1 yesterday directed the prosecution to submit an investigation report, if any, on March 22 in a case filed against Muhamed Shahidullah, a Bangalee official in the then Pakistan army, over committing crimes during the 1971 Liberation War.
Yesterday was fixed for submitting the investigation report, but Prosecutor Abul Kalam sought two months time, which the two-member tribunal led by Justice Anwarul Haque allowed.
Meanwhile, the tribunal allowed a prosecution's prayer to interrogate Shahidullah at the jail gate. As per the order, investigators will be able to question Shahidullah for one day on January 12.
Shahidullah, an alleged commander of a Pakistani army camp in Comilla, is the first former army man arrested in connection with war crime charges. He was arrested on August 2 in his Daudkandi house of the district following the tribunal order and is now in jail.
