Charge framing deferred
Sylhet Divisional Speedy Trial Tribunal Judge Md Mahbub-ul-Islam yesterday deferred charge framing date in the case for bomb attack five years ago on veteran Awami League (AL) leader Suranjit Sengupta MP's public meeting. The court set the new date on April 29. Police said, some of the accused including Mufti Hannan from Dhaka could not be brought to Sylhet as their presence was needed in some other cases in the capital. However, they would be produced on the next date. An activist of the AL, Abdul Wahid, 45, was killed while 30 others received injuries as the bombs were hurled on dais at the fag end of the public meeting held at Derai upazila headquarters in Sunamganj on June 21, 2004. However, Suranjit escaped unhurt as he along with other leaders got down from the dais minutes before the attack.
