Deposition date in JMB case deferred

Staff Correspondent, Sylhet
Deposition in the case for explosives substances, filed after the capture of outlawed JMB chief Shaikh Abdur Rahman (hanged in another case later) and his accomplices and recovery of explosives from a house here in 2006, could not be recorded as the last prosecution witness did not turn up yesterday. However, the two accused -- Shaikh Rahman's close aides Moyezul Islam Chowdhury alias Hridoy Chowdhury and Abdul Aziz Hanif were produced before the court which refixed the date for deposition on 25 April. Joint District & Sessions Judge Sheikh Ashrafur Rahman also ordered to summon the prosecution witness to appear on April 25. The court so far recorded the deposition of the 23 out of 24 prosecution witnesses in the case, informed assistant public prosecutor Mainul Islam. The trial is at final stage, he added.
