7 charge-sheeted accused denied bail again
A Habiganj court yesterday rejected the bail prayers of seven charge-sheeted accused in the case for murder of four kids in Bahubal upazila on February 12.
The accused are Abdul Ali, 60, his two sons Rubel Mia, 18, and Jewel Mia, 20, Arju Mia, 25, Shahed Mia, 32, Saleh Uddin, 30, and Bashir Mia, 48, of Sundrateki village in the upazila.
Habiganj Senior Judicial Magistrate Kawsar Alam also transferred the sensational murder case to Habiganj Chief Judicial Magistrate's court and fixed June 9 for the next hearing.
On April 6, Inspector Muktadir Hossain of Habiganj Detective Branch (DB) of Police pressed the charges against nine of the accused.
The bodies of Monir Mia, 7, Zakaria Shuvo, 8, Tajel Mia, 10, and Ismail Mia, 10, who had gone missing from Sundrateki village on February 12, were found from a Balu Mahal at the village on February 17.
Police said Abdul Ali of the village, who had a longstanding rivalry with Panchayat (a local body) leader Khaleque Master, and auto-rickshaw driver Bachchu, who was expelled from the Panchayat, planned to kill Aziz or his son Tajel Mia as Aziz was a close aid to Khaleque.
According to the plan, Bachchu tactfully took the four children on his auto-rickshaw on the evening of February 12 from near a playground.
Later, Rubel, Arju and other accused joined Bachchu and drugged the kids to make them unconscious. They strangled the boys inside the three-wheeler, kept their bodies at Bachchu's garage and later buried them under sand.
