Chandan on run
The police are still looking for Chandan Kumar Sarker, office secretary of Sundarganj Upazila Awami League, in connection with the investigation of lawmaker Liton murder case.
Chandan is also a close aide to Col (Rtd) Abdul Kader Khan.
Meanwhile, the Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate's Court allowed one day's fresh remand of Kader in connection with an illegal arms case. Kader will be interrogated further about the missing pistol used in the murder of Liton, said Ashrafuzzaman, investigation officer of Liton murder case.
Police arrested Shamsuzzoha Sarkar, personal secretary of former JP lawmaker Kader, on Sunday in connection with the murder of Liton. He was produced before the court, which allowed a two-day remand for interrogation.
Shamsuzzoha confessed his involvement in plotting Liton's murder with Kader. Police later dug up an empty iron box from his homestead, where the arms and ammunition had been concealed.
Police are preparing a list of accused people in the Liton murder case and on getting the reports of all seized and recovered evidence they will submit a charge sheet as early as possible, said Atiar Rahman, officer-in-charge of Sundarganj Police Station.
Kader was arrested from his house at Rahman Nagar in Bogra on February 21 and taken to Gaibandha. Police produced him before the court next day seeking ten days' remand, which the court granted. On the third day of remand he agreed to give confessional statement under Section 164 before the court.
Liton was shot dead on December 31 in 2016 in his house by unknown assailants. Police arrested 30 persons, including Kader and four suspected killers in connection with the case.
