Recording of statements of PWs begins today
The recording of statements of prosecution witnesses (PWs) in a case filed in connection with the grenade attack on British High Commissioner Anwar Choudhury will begin at Sylhet Divisional Speedy Trial Tribunal today.
The grenade attack took place at the shrine of Hazrat Shahjalal (RA) in Sylhet after Juma prayers on May 21 in 2004, killing three people and injuring 70 others.
The number of prosecution witnesses is 56, court sources said.
The recording was scheduled to begin on August 14 but it was deferred as the prime accused, Harkat ul Jihad chief Mufti Abdul Hannan, could not be produced in the court on the day.
Additional District & Sessions Judge Ferdous Ahmed framed charges against the four accused in the case on July 31. Later, the case was transferred to the Speedy Trial Tribunal.
The other accused are Mufti Hannan's brother Mofizur Rahman and Huji operatives Delwar Hossain Ripon and Sharif Shahedul Alam alias Bipul.
