Rifat’s father satisfied with verdict; deprived of justice, says Minni’s father
Mozammel Haque Kishore, father of Ayesha Siddika Minni who was sentenced to death in Rifat Sharif murder case, today said they have been deprived of justice.
Mozammel said, "Minni did not commit any crime. She tried to save her husband from the attackers, putting her life at risk. I reject this verdict."
He added that the court has been influenced.
Minni's father came up with the reaction soon after a Barguna court announced the verdict in the murder case around 1:50pm today, our Patuakhali correspondent reports.
On the other hand, Halim Dulal Sharif, father of slain Rifat Sharif, said, "I am satisfied with the judgement. The perpetrators have been properly tried. I demand quick execution of the judgement."
Barguna District and Sessions Judge's Court Public Prosecutor Bhuban Chandra Halder said, "We are happy with the verdict. Criminals cannot be spared if they kill anyone and it has been proven through the verdict."
Meanwhile, defence lawyer Mahbubul Bari Aslam said, "We will file appeal petition with the higher court against the judgment of the murder case. We hope we can prove that Minni is innocent."
The verdict has been biased, he added.
Ayesha Siddika Minni and five others -- Rakibul Hasan alias Rifat Farazi, Abdul Kaiyum alias Rabbi Akon, Mohaiminul Islam Sifat, Rezwanul Khan alias Tiktok Ridoy and Md Hasan -- were sentenced to death in Rifat Sharif murder case.
