Killings of Mitu, SI Akram linked

The mystery surrounding the murder of Mahmuda Akter Mitu could be unraveled if her husband former SP Babul Akter and late SI Akram's wife Banani Binte Bashir alias Bonni were interrogated.

Jannat Ara Parveen Rini, elder sister of Akram, said this to Kamruzzaman, additional deputy commissioner of Detective Branch of Chittagong Metropolitan Police, during a meeting with him at his office yesterday. Rini's niece Murshida Jahan Doli accompanied her.

Kamruzzaman is also the investigation officer of the Mitu murder case.

Talking to reporters after the meeting, Rini said his brother was “murdered” in a planned way.

The murders of Mitu and Akram were pre-planned and linked, she alleged.

She claimed Babul was involved in his brother's “murder” in 2014. Babul had an extra-marital affair with Bonni which led to the killings, she added.

IO Kamruzzaman said Rini didn't hand over any written complaint to him, rather she gave him some information. He, however, refused to disclose the information.

“We didn't ask her to come here. She came here voluntarily,” the IO added.

Mitu was hacked and shot dead in Chittagong city on June 5 last year.

According to police, Akram died of accident injuries at Jhenidah Sadar Hospital on January 13, 2015, 16 days after he was critically injured in a road accident in Jhenidah's Shailakupa upazila.
