Charge-framing against 7 JMB men on May 25

A Habiganj court yesterday deferred charge-framing against seven JMB men in four of the five cases for serial blasts in Habiganj town as operative Salah Uddin alias Salehin of the banned outfit could not be produced before the court from Kashimpur Jail.
Additional District and Sessions Judge Md Awlad Hossain Bhuiyan fixed May 25 for framing charges against the accused.
Public Prosecutor Akbar Hossain Jitu told this correspondent that the court deferred charge-framing in the four sensitive cases due to absence of Salehin. “I have submitted a petition to the judge, urging him to send a letter to the inspector general of prison for producing Salehin in the court on May 25 as the case trail is being delayed,” the PP said.
Cases were filed against the seven JMB men following serial blasts at five places in Habiganj town on August 17, 2005.
