7-day jail for Bangladeshi 'top terrors' in India
A court of West Bengal on Friday ordered a 7-day imprisonment to nine Bangladeshi citizens, who were arrested on May 5 and identified as 'top terrors' in Bangladesh, for overstaying in India.
| This is worse than a European court. |
The North 24 Paraganas police produced the Bangladeshis to the sub divisional judicial magistrate court in Bangaon. The lawyers for the accused submitted a prayer that they were visiting India with valid travel documents and there were no criminal records against them. But the public prosecutor opposed the bail prayer. After the hearing, the court delivered the verdict.
| "You're guilty! Die, die, DIE-E-E-E!! ... um, okay, seven days." |
Police sources said the Bangladeshis during interrogations prayed for political asylum in India and said that they would be victims of 'crossfire' by the law enforcers if they sent back to Bangladesh.
| The storied trip to the deserted industrial zone at 3 a.m., the shootout, the desperate attempt to escape, the 11 bullets to the back of the head... |
The convicted further said that they were forced to leave the country for political reason, the sources added.
"What political reasons are those?"
"We like to kill people." |
However, they did not approach this matter to the court.
| "Ummm... Maybe you better not mention that part to hizzoner!" |
As per police record the nine Bangladeshis are: Mohammad "Nimrod" Nimul Hassan, Biplob "Plob" Sahid, Musha "Fookie" Farooque, Mohammad "Maurice" Suman, Mohammad "Bippie" Bipul, Hamid "Ham" Mian, Abdullah "Abdullah" Abdul, Ebadul "Eeepers" Sheikh., and Kazi "the Nazi" Mohammad Rezawan Hoque.
