Hearing on charge framing on August 6
A Dhaka court yesterday fixed August 6 for hearing on charge framing against five people, including Shafiat Sobhan Sanvir, son of Basundhara Group Chairman Ahmed Akbar Sobhan Shah Alam, and four others in Humayun Kabir Sabbir murder case.
Sabbir, a director of Basundhara Telecommunications Network Ltd, was killed on July 5, 2006 and his body was found near a building in Bashundhara residential area in the city.
Judge Mohammad Shawkat Ali Chowdhury of the Third Additional Metropolitan Sessions Judge's Court set the date and asked the jail authorities to produce three accused, now in jail custody, before it on the scheduled date.
On May 13, the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) submitted a charge sheet against the accused to the Chief Metropolitan Magistrate's Court, showing 35 people as prosecution witnesses.
The other charge sheeted accused are Sanvir's bodyguard Khairul Hassan Ujjal, 31, two gatekeepers -- Nure Alam, 28, Humayun Kabir, 28, and Shamsuddin Ahmed, 57.
Of them, Ujjal and Shamsuddin are now in jail while Sanvir and two others have been absconding since the case was filed.
Shah Alam tried to save his son Sanvir from the murder charge by paying a bribe of Tk 21 crore to detained former state minister for home Lutfozzaman Babar. The bribery came to light after CID started investigation into the murder.
