Narayanganj 7-murder: Ex-Rab man on fresh remand
A Narayanganj court today granted a five-day fresh remand for Ruhul Amin, a former member of Rapid Action Battalion, in a case filed in connection with the seven murders.
Senior Judicial Magistrate Chadni Rupam placed Ruhul Amin passed the remand order after police produced him before the court with a seven-day remand prayer.
Ruhul Amin is former lance corporal at Bangladesh Army who was on deputation at Rab-11 during the seven-murder incident in April, reports our Narayanganj correspondent.
On October 8, another court in Narayanganj placed him on seven-day remand in the case filed by Selina Islam Beauty, wife of Narayanganj city panel mayor Nazrul Islam after he along with six others were abducted.
Nazrul, his driver and three associates, and senior lawyer Chandan Sarker and his driver were abducted separately but around the same time on April 27 from Dhaka-Narayanganj Link Road.
Their bodies were found floating in the Shitalakkhya River a few days later.
Rab men's involvement in the killings came to light when Nazrul's father-in-law Shahidul Islam alleged that some Rab personnel had abducted and killed Nazrul in exchange for Tk 6 crore from ward councillor Nur Hossain and his associates.
Amid an uproar over the allegation, three Rab members -- Lt Col Tareque Sayeed Mohammad, Maj Arif Hossain and Lt Commander MM Rana -- were first sacked and then arrested. They gave confessional statements and are facing trial now.
