Interpol Red Alert To Nab Bangladesh Founding Leader's Killers 78 days ago
(RTTNews) - A "red alert" has been issued by the international police organization Interpol to nab the fugitives who are believed to be living abroad and are linked to the assassination of Bangladesh's founding leader Sheikh Mujibur Rahman.
Thirty-four years after Rahman was assassinated in a military coup, the country's Supreme Court Friday upheld the death sentence awarded to the 12 killers by a lower court in 1998. Five of them are in custody in the country while seven others are absconding. One of them has been confirmed by the Foreign Office to have died recently in Zimbabwe.
Home Minister Sahara Khatun has said the government has started the process to bring back the absconding killers.
Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, popularly called Bangabandhu, who led Bangladesh to independence in 1971 with the help of Indian military, was gunned down at his home in a posh Dhanmandi area in the capital Dhaka, along with his wife and three sons in a coup August 15, 1975. His daughter Sheikh Hasina, who is the current prime minister, was abroad at that time.
The Pakistani military suffered the most humiliating defeat in its history in the 1971 Bangladesh independence war and Pakistani General A K Niazi's army comprising more than 100,000 soldiers surrendered before Lieutenant-General Jagjit Singh Aurora of the Indian Army.
Meanwhile, the trial of around 4,000 border guards accused of killing 73 persons, including 57 Bangladeshi Army officers, in a bloody mutiny at the paramilitary force's headquarters in the capital Dhaka, will begin Tuesday in one of the special courts set up for the purpose.
The judicial process in connection with the February 25-26 mutiny will begin with the trial of accused soldiers of the 12 Rifle Battalion which rebelled in the Rangamati sector.
"A three-member court led by BDR Director General Maj Gen M Mainul Islam will sit Tuesday at 3:00 pm at the Rangamati BDR sector headquarters to start the trial of accused soldiers of 12 Rifle Battalion under Rangamati sector," a BDR official was quoted as saying.
