| 2009-10-09 |
| [Bangla Daily Star] Criminal Investigation Department (CID) yesterday interrogated former deputy inspector general (DIG) Farruk Ahmed Chowdhury of CID for four hours in connection with the sensational Chittagong arms haul case. A three-member team, led by Senior ASP Muniruzzaman Chowdhury, also investigation officer (IO) of the case, started questioning Farruk at its divisional headquarters at Dampara at about 11:30am. Sources said Farruk did not reveal anything about 10 truckloads of firearms during the interrogation. He shrugged off some questions and blamed former home secretary Omar Faruk who led the committee formed by the ministry to investigate the arms hauls in the early hours of April 2 in 2004. Earlier on Saturday, the investigators quizzed Omar Faruk for eight hours as part of questioning members of the high-level probe committee. The other members of the committee include former director of DGFI Rezzaqul Haider Chowdhury, former deputy inspector general of special branch Shamsul Islam and former NSI director Enamur Rahman Chowdhury. |
