Accused in Ramna blast case now SI at Patuakhali
An accused of the Ramna Batomul bomb blast case has been appointed sub-inspector (SI) at the Patuakhali Sadar Police station. Mizanur Rahman Swadhin, who was arrested by police in connection with the bomb attack on the Pahela Baishakh celebration programme in 2001 and later released on bail granted by the High Court, joined the post in the first week of this month. A former Jatiyatabadi Chhatra Dal (JCD) cadre, Mizanur received departmental training at the Sardah Police Training Academy from February 22.

Ten people were killed and over 100 injured in the bomb blast incident at the Ramna Batomul in Dhaka. Police arrested Mizanur at a house in Matuail area in the capital. The law enforcers also arrested his cousin Motiur Rahman, imam of the Matuail mosque whom they identified as a skilled bomb maker. Jasim, another cousin of Mizanur, allegedly carried bombs to the Ramna Batomul and was killed on the spot.

The three cousins hail from Biron village under Mathbaria upazila in Pirojpur district. Mizanur was a powerful JCD leader of Suhrawardi College in Dhaka in 2001, some villagers said.
