Complainant faces threat by accused

Abdullah Goldar, complainant of a case for killing his father against nine 'rajakars', is feeling insecure following threat by prime accused Rafiqul Morol alias Abu Taleb Morol and his younger brother Belayet Morol.

“The accused have threatened me to withdraw the case or face dire consequences. I am staying outside my village home fearing attempt on my life,” Abdullah Goldar told this correspondent yesterday.

On March 11, Abdullah Goldar filed a case with the Court of Chief Judicial Magistrate Md Abu Ibrahim accusing nine rajakars of killing his freedom fighter father Moslem Goldar on December 11 during the Liberation War in 1971.

The Chief Judicial Magistrate passed an order on March 22 asking OC of Batiaghata Police Station to record a regular case and take necessary action against the accused.

Batiaghata Police Station OC Abdus Salek yesterday said he is yet to receive the court order to record the case and go into action accordingly.

The nine people sued for killing freedom fighter Moslem Goldar on the premises of Phulbaria rajakar camp in Batiaghata upazila of Khulna district are Rafiqul Morol alias Abu Taleb Morol, Belayet Morol of Baliadanga village, Mostafa Molla, Mohor Sheikh, Ashraf Ali, Gaffar Goldar and Abdul Hakim of Phulbari village under the same upazila, Rajab Ali Sarder and Karbala Sarder of Rampal upazila of Bagerhat district.

The prime accused Rafiqul Morol alias Abu Taleb Morol, who renamed himself as ATM Rafique after liberation, was arrested by Rapid Action Battalion-6 while receiving Tk 20,000 as bribe from a deputy ranger of Sundarbans Forest Division last year.
