IO collects PintuĊ½s call list of BDR mutiny time
 [Bangla Daily Star] The Criminal Investigation Department (CID) collected the call list of former BNP lawmaker Nasiruddin Pintu's cellphone during the BDR carnage, said an investigation report placed before a Dhaka court yesterday. However, CID took Pintu on a three-day fresh remand for extracting information about the telephone conversation.Metropolitan Magistrate Mominul Hassan passed the remand order after CID's Senior Assistant Superintend of Police (ASP) Abdul Kahhar Akond, also the investigating officer (IO) of the case, produced Pintu before the court with a ten-day fresh remand prayer. In his report, Abdul Kahhar mentioned that during the first phase remand he gleaned important information including several names of Pintu's accomplices. On the other hand, defence lawyers submitted a petition seeking bail and cancellation of the remand prayer. Moving the petition, lawyers argued that their client was inhumanely tortured during the remand. The court placed on a five-day police remand but their client was taken to an unknown place. Defending himself Pintu told the court that during his remand he was handcuffed, blindfolded and hung with an iron bar. An Imam asked his last wishes and hinted more torture in further remand, he said. After hearing, the magistrate granted a three-day fresh remand asking the IO to interrogate the accused with caution. Pintu was apprehended on June 2, on charges of instigating BDR mutineers and helping them escape unchallenged. Posted by: Fred 2009-06-09 |
