Major (retd) Sinha murder: Probe committee submits report to home minister

The probe committee conducting the enquiry into the killing of Major (retd) Sinha submitted its report to Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal at his ministry today.

The minister, however, didn't disclose content of the report as another investigation, following the order of a court, is still ongoing.

Earlier, Mizanur Rahman, additional divisional commissioner of Chattogram, who lead the four-member probe body formed by the home ministry, said that the report would be submitted on September 6.

The committee members talked to 68 people related in many ways to the incident and recorded their statements, he said adding that the report was finalised unanimously after scrutinising their statements.

"The report will show why the incident took place and who are responsible for it," the ADC said.

The home ministry's public security division formed the probe committee on August 2 after Major (retd) Sinha was shot dead at a police checkpoint on Marine Drive in Teknaf upazila on July 31.

Three other members of the committee are: Shahjahan Ali, additional district magistrate of Cox's Bazar; Lt Col SM Sazzad Hossain, representative of the armed forces division of Bangladesh Army; and Zakir Hossain Khan, additional deputy inspector general of Chattogram range.
