Grilling of former state minister for home affairs Luthfuzzaman Babar for second time in the Kibria killing case ended yesterday. Judicial magistrate of Habiganj Shahidul Amin yesterday sent him back to the jail after CID produced him before the court.
CID police took Babar on six days remand first on February 11 and again on March 14 on five days in the sensational case.
Babar was shown arrested in the case since February 2 this year. CID ASP Md Rafiqul Islam, also investigation officer of the case, sought to quiz Babar in the August 21 incident.

Babar was quizzed along with Huji operative Mizanur Rahman Mithu in the case last week, the IO said.
Declining to give details, ASP Rafiqul said, Mithu threw the grenade on Kibria. Mithu disclosed this in confessional statement before judicial magistrate of Habiganj on Thursday last.
