Rajon murder charge sheet in 3 days

Says law minister

The police will submit a charge sheet in three days in teenage boy Samiul Islam Rajon killing case, Law Minister Anisul Huq yesterday said.

Ruling out the possibility of forming a special tribunal to try the murder of the 13-year-old, he said any court had the jurisdiction to hold trial of child murders, including Rajon's, under the Women and Children Repression Prevention Act.

The law minister on July 23, however, said the murder case would be sent to a speedy tribunal for its quick disposal.

Rajon died of brain haemorrhage after a group of brutes beat him up in Kumargaon Bus Stand area in Sylhet on July 8 apparently to punish him for stealing. The body bore as many as 64 injury marks according to the autopsy report.

As of yesterday, locals in Sylhet captured 12 accused and handed them over to the police.

The government has been trying to bring back Kamrul Islam, one of the main accused in the killing case, from Saudi Arabia, the minister said while talking to reporters after unveiling an updated land registration manual of the ministry at Hotel Sonargaon in the capital.

He, however, said there was no legal bar to the trial in Kamrul's absentia.

Replying to a question, Anisul Huq said the government was working to bring back the fugitive killers of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman to the country.

ভোটের অধিকার আদায়ে জনগণকে রাস্তায় নামতে হবে: ফখরুল

‘যুবকরা এখনো জানে না ভোট কী। আমাদের আওয়ামী লীগের ভাইরা ভোটটা দিয়েছেন, বলে দিয়েছেন—তোরা আসিবার দরকার নাই, মুই দিয়ে দিনু। স্লোগান ছিল—আমার ভোট আমি দিব, তোমার ভোটও আমি দিব।’
