ICT finalises report against 2 Habiganj war crimes accused
DHAKA, Jan 1, 2019 (BSS) – The investigation agency of the International
Crimes Tribunal (ICT) today finalised its report against two alleged war
criminals, including Md Madhu Miah Talukder of Baniachang upazila in
Habiganj.
Madhu, 66, the incumbent chairman of Muradpur union parishad under
Baniachang police station, used to head a group of Razakars in 1971, chief
coordinator of probe body Muhammad Abdul Hannan Khan said.
“We launched the probe against the duo on April 26, 2018, and concluded
today. We have brought five allegations including genocide, murder and
abduction against them. Madhu is now in jail after getting arrested on May
23, 2018,” Khan told newsmen at a press briefing held at its Dhanmandi office
this morning.
However, the investigation officials refrained themselves from revealing
the identity of other accused as he is yet to be arrested.
“Madhu and his family members were the supporters of Muslim League. After
the start of the War of Liberation, Madhu formed a group of Razakars and
named it after him. After the independence, he went into hiding and later on
he returned his village in 1976 and later joined BNP. Now, he is the
president of Muradpur union unit of BNP,” probe body senior coordinator
Sanaul Haque said.
