Police start grilling woman outlaw
The police yesterday started quizzing Nahid Parvin Champa, a cadre of outlawed Gono Mukti Fouz, about the murders of Bheramara Awami League leader Meherul Alam and college teacher Fattah Mohon.
According to sources, the arms including an AK-47 rifle, recovered from Kushtia Mahila AL leader Taslima Khan Ankhi on November 3, could have been used in killing Bheramara upazila unit AL joint secretary Meherul and BJM College teacher Mohon on August 15.
Police suspect that Champa carried those weapons.
Bheramara police on Tuesday produced Champa, arrested on November 5, before court praying for a seven-day remand. After the hearing, Magistrate Selina Akter of Chief Judicial Magistrate's Court in Kushtia, granted a three-day remand for Champa.
Champa's elder sister Nasrin, another suspected GMF cadre who is now absconding, allegedly accompanied Champa while transporting the weapons.
Police said more information on underground party activities in the district would be gleaned after the arrest of Nasrin.
Four female cadres have been arrested in the district in the drive launched on November 4 to net the suspected women activists of outlawed parties. They all belong to the GMF.
“Women cadres are used mostly as safe carriers of firearms and ammunition. They are paid for their services,” Kushtia SP Sahabuddin Khan told The Daily Star over phone.
