Faruk Murder Case: Next hearing January 31
A court here yesterday set January 31 for the next hearing of the witnesses in freedom fighter Faruk Ahmed murder case.
Maksuda Khanom, judge of First Additional District and Sessions Judge's Court in Tangail, passed the order.
Seven of the accused of the case, including the main accused Amanur Rahman Khan Rana, Awami League (AL) lawmaker from Tangail-3 (Ghatail) constituency, were on the dock at the time, said Monirul Islam, additional public prosecutor of the court.
“Earlier, three more prosecution witnesses of the case -- Khalek, Suruzzaman and Mirza Rana -- gave their statements to the court. The lawyers of Rana conducted their cross examinations,” he said.
With them, eleven people out of total 23 prosecution witnesses of the case gave their statements to the court so far, he added.
The bullet-hit body of district AL leader Faruk was found near his College Para house in Tangail town on January 18, 2013.
After three days, Faruk's wife Nahar Ahmed filed a case with Tangail Police Station accusing unidentified criminals.
Police initially investigated the case, which was later shifted to Tangail Detective Branch of police.
A charge-sheet in the case was submitted in February 3 last year.
Four of the 14 accused, including Rana, are in jail while three are on bail. Seven others, including three younger brothers of Rana, are still on the run.
In September last year, charges were framed against the accused.
