Police yesterday seized the movable properties of Kamrul Islam and his brother Shamim, accused in the 13-year-old Samiul Islam Rajon murder case, following a court order.

A police team conducted the drive in the afternoon, a day after a Sylhet court ordered the authorities concerned to confiscate all the movable properties of three fugitive accused--Kamrul, Shamim and Pavel Islam, said Md Akther Hossain, officer-in-charge of Jalalabad Police Station.

They seized movable properties from the houses of Kamrul and Shamim in absence of their relatives around 5:00pm, said the OC, adding that they will seize properties of Pavel today.

Sylhet Metropolitan Magistrate-1 Shahedul Karim came up with the order after accepting charge sheet pressed against 13 accused including Kamrul, Shamim and Pavel, said Shawkat Chowdhury, lawyer for Rajon's father.

The other accused are Muhit Alam, Ali Haider, Nurul Amin, Dulal Ahmed, Nur Mia, Ayaz Ali, Badal, Firoz Ali, Ruhul Amin and Asmat Ali.

Public Prosecutor Misbah Uddin Siraj said three of the accused--Kamrul, Shamim and Pavel-- have been shown absconding in the charge sheet.

On August 16, Investigation Officer Suranjit Talukdar submitted the charge sheet against 13 people in the case.

Prime accused Kamrul fled to Saudi Arabia soon after the incident. He was later detained by Saudi police.

On July 8, Rajon was beaten to death allegedly by Kamrul and several others in Kumargaon Bus Stand area of Sylhet Sadar upazila.

Rajon's "crime", they claimed, was trying to steal a rickshaw van. One of culprits even filmed the murder incident on a mobile phone and shared it on the social media.
