NSI, Ulfa links concealed
[Bangla Daily Star] The involvement of the NSI officials and Indian separatist group Ulfa in smuggling of 10 truckload of arms was not mentioned in the arms haul case probe report due to an active role played by the then DGFI director Brig Gen Rezzakul Haider Chowdhury.The former chief of DGFI, Chittagong Col (retd) AKM Rezaur Rahman said this as witness in a statement given before the court of Metropolitan Magistrate Mohammad Mahbubur Rahman yesterday. Terming Rezzakul a 'very dominating', 'influential' and 'sharp' person, Rezaur stated, "I came to know from different sources that the issue of involvement of the NSI officials and Indian separatist group Ulfa in smuggling of the arms was suppressed in the probe report due to crucial role played by Rezzakul.", said a source at the court quoting Rezaur's statement. He also stated that Rezzakul had very good link with former state minister Lutfozzaman Babar and he was so influential for his political connection. The court recorded Rezaur's 13-page statement in three hours started at 3:15pm in connection with country's largest ever arms haul in Chittagong on April 2, 2004. Posted by: Fred 2011-05-04 |
