Argument in Sunamganj grenade attack case Oct 7
Sylhet Divisional Speedy Trial Tribunal Judge Muhammad Mahbub Ul Islam on Wednesday fixed October 7 for argument in two cases filed after the grenade attack on a rally of AL leader Suranjit Sengupta MP in Sunamganj in 2004.
On Sepember 15, the judge recorded the deposition of seven police Inspectors who had served as investigation officers of the cases.
An Awami League activist was killed and 30 others were injured in the attack.
Two cases--one under explosive Substances Act and the other for muder were filed after the grenade attack on June 21, 2004 at Derai upazila headquarters in Sunamganj.
However, Suranjit Sengupta and some other leaders escaped unhurt as they got down from the dais just moments ahead of the attack.
CID Inspector Shafiqur Rahman on December 14, 2008 filed charge sheets in the two cases with the Judicial magistrate court in Sunamganj against the Huji chief Mufti Abdul Hannan and six others, court sources said.
The court on June 30 this year framed charges against the accused and started recording the deposition on 13 July, court sources said.
The other accused are Mufti Abdul Hannan's younger brother Mofizul Islam alias Mohibullah, Shariful Alam Bipul, Delwar Hossain Ripon, Hafij Nayeem Ahmed, Mufti Main Uddin and Naziur Rahman Nazu.
The cases were transferred to the speedy trial tribunal through a gazette notification issued by the home ministry.
