War crimes suspect held in Kishoreganj
Law enforcers arrested a war crimes suspect from Kishoreganj's Pulerghat area last night, around nine hours after the issuance of arrest warrant by the International Crimes Tribunal-1.
Sub-inspector of Kishoreganj Sadar Police Station Shafiqul Islam said detectives arrested Shamsuddin Ahmed, 60, a lawyer of a Kishoreganj court, at about 8:00pm.
On Tuesday, International Crimes Tribunal Investigation Agency submitted a probe report to the prosecution against Shamsuddin and his brother Nasir Uddin Ahmed.
According to the probe report, Shamsuddin and Nasir joined the Razakar Bahini, an auxiliary force of the Pakistani army, in 1971 and committed crimes in Karimganj of Kishoreganj.
The siblings were allegedly involved in mass killings, murder, loot, confinement and torture during the Liberation War.
Police are yet to arrest Nasir.
In the morning, prosecutor Syed Haidar Ali sought arrest warrants for the duo.
