2014-05-25
[Dhaka Tribune] The Rapid Action Battalion yesterday claimed that local Awami League leader Jihad Chowdhury had criminal masterminded the killing of Fulgazi Upazila Chairman Ekramul Haque.

Interrogating eight people, seven of whom were incarcerated
Drop the rosco, Muggsy, or you're one with the ages!
from the capital and another from Feni, RAB found that internal feud between Jihad and Ekram over establishing supremacy led to the killing that took place four days back in broad daylight in Feni town.

However,
today is that tomorrow you were thinking about yesterday...
Jihad Chowdhury, joint secretary of Fulgazi upazila unit Awami League, is still on the lam.

Seven of the arrestees, aged between 20 and 24, took part in the killing mission on Tuesday on the instructions of Jihad Chowdhury, RAB's Media Wing Director Habibur Rahman told a press briefing arranged at its headquarters.

The plan had been made at Salam Gymnasium in Feni a day before the murder, he added.

One of the arrestees was accused of giving shelter to the killers at his Bashundhara residence.

The alleged killers arrested from the residence are Abidul Islam Abid, Jahidul Islam Saikat, Chowdhury Md Nasir Uddin Anik, Kazi Shahnan Mahmud, Sajjadul Islam Patwari alias Shifat, Shahjalal Uddin Shipon and house owner Helal Uddin. Based on their statements, another youth named Jahid Hossain was picked up from Feni.

Abid, one of the prime accused, is son of the general secretary of Feni Mohila Awami League and cousin of MP Nizam Uddin Hazari.

Habibur Rahman told the presser that around 8:00am on Tuesday, Jihad briefed the killers on the entire plan for the killing of Ekram. A group of 60 to 70 people took part in the killing mission. Dividing into several groups, they had followed Ekram from his house.
