Mitu murder case: Former SP Babul Akter denied bail
A court in Chattogram today rejected the bail petition of former Superintendent of Police (SP) Babul Akter in connection with the Mahmuda Khanam Mitu murder case.
Metropolitan Magistrate Shafi Uddin passed the order after a virtual hearing of both defence and prosecution, said Kazi Shahabuddin Ahmed, additional deputy commissioner (Prosecution) of Chattogram Metropolitan Police (CMP).
On June 5, 2016, Mitu was stabbed and shot dead while she was taking her son to his school bus stop at the port city's GEC intersection. After the murder, Babul filed a case against three unidentified men with Panchlaish Police Station.
Later, PBI took over the case from Detective Branch (DB) of CMP.
On May 11 this year, Chattogram PBI summoned Babul to its office for interrogation. He failed to give satisfactory answers to the detectives and was taken into PBI custody. The following day, Mitu's father filed a murder case against eight people, making Babul the prime accused in the case. Mitu's father alleged that Babul is the mastermind of the killing and he killed his wife over his extra-marital affair.
