Forty-eight years after the murder of Col Khondkar Nazmul Huda Bir Bikram, his daughter Naheed Izaher Khan yesterday filed a case with Sher-e-Bangla Nagar Police Station in Dhaka over the killing. 

In the case, Maj (retd) Abdul Jalil of the 10th East Bengal Regiment was made accused.

Naheed also claimed that the killing was carried out as per BNP founder Ziaur Rahman's instruction.

In the case, Naheed mentioned that she and her elder brother were only 5 and 8 years old respectively when their father was killed by members of the Bangladesh Army on the premises of Jatiya Sangsad Bhaban in Dhaka on November 7, 1975.
