Confiscate all properties of 10 accused
A Habiganj court yesterday ordered the authorities concerned to confiscate all the movable properties of 10 fugitive accused, including former prime minister Khaleda Zia's political secretary Harris Chowdhury, in SAMS Kibria murder case.
The nine others are Moulana Taj Uddin, Mufti Shafiqur Rahman, Mufti Abdul Hai, Badrul, Mohammad Ali, Muhibur Rahman, Kajol Mia, Moulana Yahia and Abdul Jalil.
Senior Judicial Magistrate Rashid Ahmed Milon of Habiganj Sadar Court, however, acquitted three other accused -- Yousuf Bin Sharif, Abdul Jalil and Ahsan Ulla Kajol -- of the case.
The court came up with the order as the Criminal Investigation Department in the 3rd supplementary charge sheet prayed for withdrawing the names from the case.
The court also set February 10 for the next proceedings of the case.
Earlier, mayors of Sylhet City Corporation and Habiganj municipality were sent to jail on surrender. Eleven men, including the two BNP leaders, were named in the 3rd supplementary charge sheet submitted to Habiganj District and Sessions Judge's Court on November 13 last year. Ten people were accused in the first charge sheet of former finance minister Kibria murder case submitted to the court in 2005.
In the second charge sheet in 2011, Lutfozzaman Babar, state minister for home of the BNP government at the time of the murder, and Mufti Abdul Hannan, chief of banned militant outfit Harkat-ul-Jihad-al-Islami (Huji), and 12 others were named. Babar and Hannan were shown arrested in the case.
On January 27 in 2005, Awami League leader Kibria, then an opposition lawmaker, was killed along with four others, including his nephew, in a grenade attack at Baidderbazar of Habiganj Sadar upazila. Kibria was coming out after addressing a rally.
