Senior ASP 'beaten to death': Two staffers of Mind Aid Hospital ‘confess to their involvement’

Two employees of Mind Aid Psychiatry and De-Addiction Hospital today confessed before a Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate to their involvement in the death of Senior Assistant Superintendent of Police Anisul Karim on November 9.

The employees are: kitchen chef Masud Khan and ward boy Asim Chandra Pal.

Metropolitan Magistrate Md Masud-ur-Rahman recorded their confessional statements after Md Faruk Mollah, inspector of Adabar Police Station and also the investigation officer of the case, produced them at his chamber.

In their statements, they told the magistrate that they along with other employees beat the victim, court sources said.

Further details of the confessional statements could not be known immediately.

After recording their statements, the magistrate sent them to Dhaka Central Jail in Keraniganj.

Meanwhile, Fatema Khatun Moyna, 41, one of directors, was placed on a four-day remand today after she was produced before the court of Metropolitan Magistrate Md Baki Bilkah with a seven-day remand prayer.

Hospital director Dr Md Niaz Morshed was arrested on November 10 from the capital's National Institute of Neurosciences and Hospital, where he was undergoing treatment for paralysis.

The other directors -- Abdullah Al Mamun, Sakhawat Hossain, and Sazzad Amin -- are still on the run.

Eight other arrestees are now on a seven-day remand in the case.

The murder case was filed against 15 named persons, including the 10 arrestees, with Adabor Police Station.
