Wife of accused seeks security after testifying against ex-SP Babul
Wife of Kamrul Islam Musa, an accused in Mahmuda Khanam Mitu murder case, has filed a general diary (GD), seeking security after giving testimony against former superintendent of police Babul Akter before a court yesterday.
Confirming the development, Panna Akhter told The Daily Star, "I have filed the GD with Rangunia Police Station today (Tuesday), seeking security considering my current situation."
"I have testified against former SP Babul Akter where I told the magistrate that Musa was working as an informant for Babul. Apart from that, I told the court that Musa was picked up by plainclothes men after the murder (of Mitu)," she added.
She, however, said she has not received any threat so far.
Although police said Musa is on the run, his wife claimed that plainclothes police detained him and his brother Saku in Bandar area on June 22, 2016, but later only Saku was shown arrested in the case.
Police brushed aside the allegation.
On June 5, 2016, Mitu was stabbed and shot dead by a group of criminals led by Musa while she was taking her son to his school bus stop at the port city's GEC intersection. After the murder, Mitu's husband Babul filed a case against three unidentified men with Panchlaish Police Station. Musa went into hiding and since then he is on the run, said investigators.
On May 11 this year, Chattogram PBI summoned Babul to its office for questioning over the murder. He failed to give satisfactory answers to the detectives and was taken to PBI custody.
The following day, Mitu's father filed a murder case against Babul and seven others.
