| [Dhaka Tribune] Two investigating officers have testified before a court in Narayanganj in two cases filed against Nur Hossain, who was previously sentenced to death in the Narayanganj seven-murder case. Narayanganj Additional District and Sessions Judge Sabina Yasmin on Thursday recorded the deposition of Siddhirganj cop shoppe sub-inspectors Sakhawat Hossain and Nazrul Islam in the drug and arms cases respectively. Prime accused Nur Hossain along with other accused, namely, Ali Mohammad, Jamal, Nur Hossain's brother Nur Uddin, and his nephew Councillor Shahjalal Badal were present on the dock. Both the cases were filed with the cop shoppe in 2014. Additional Public Prosecutor Jasmin Ahmed said the court had set May 27 for the next round of proceedings in the cases. On the same day, Nur Hossain was produced before the Narayanganj District and Sessions Judge's Court in another case filed by the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC). Judge Mohammad Anisur Rahman also set May 27 for the next hearing. Inspector Md Asaduzzaman of the court said Nur Hossain was brought to the Narayanganj court from Gazipur's Kashimpur jail amid tight security. Later, he was sent back to jail, Asaduzzaman added. Earlier in January this year, Narayanganj Additional District and Sessions Judge Sabina Yasmin sentenced Nur Hossain to life imprisonment in another arms case. On August 1, 2014, police recovered his pistol from beside the railway line in Dhaka's Malibagh Bazar area. The next day, police filed a case under the Arms Act with the Railway cop shoppe. |
