Ctg Arms Haul Charges Ready
Babar, Nizami named accused


Staff Correspondent, Ctg

Further investigation in sensational 10-truck arms haul cases has apparently come to an end after three and a half years and 13 time extensions.

The Criminal Investigation Department (CID) showed 11 new accused including former state minister for home Lutfozzaman Babar and former minister for commerce and industries Matiur Rahman Nizami in the memorandum of evidence (ME) of the cases.

The other new accused are India's United Liberation Front of Asom (Ulfa) leader Paresh Barua, former director general (DG) of National Security Intelligence (NSI) Brig Gen (retd) Abdur Rahim, the then director of the Directorate General of Forces Intelligence (DGFI) Maj Gen (retd) Rezzakul Haider Chowdhury, who was later appointed as DG of NSI, former NSI director Wing Commander (retd) Shahab Uddin, former deputy director of NSI Maj (retd) Liakat Hossain, former NSI field officer Akbar Hossain Khan, former additional secretary of industries ministry Nurul Amin, former managing director (MD) of Chittagong Urea Fertiliser Limited (CUFL) Mohsin Talukder and former CUFL general manager (admin) Enamul Hoque.

Of the accused, Ulfa leader Paresh Barua and additional secretary of industries ministry Nurul Amin are absconding.

CID hopes to submit the probe report with in the given timeframe, June 29, as it has prepared an initial ME of the cases.

The investigation officer (IO) of the cases Md Moniruzzaman Chowdhury, also a senior assistant superintendent of police (ASP) for CID, on Thursday submitted the primary ME to Public Prosecutor (PP) Kamal Uddin Ahmed for his review.

CID officials said names of the 11 accused were included with 41 other who were accused in the two previous charge sheets submitted by CID earlier in 2004.

Talking to The Daily Star yesterday IO Moniruzzaman said they have almost completed the investigation.

He hoped to submit his probe report after the PP approves the ME.

Sources in CID said names of over 200 people including police officials, a magistrate, former officials of NSI, DGFI, and former secretaries of different ministries have been mentioned in the ME as important witness.

They said CID has so far solved six out of seven issues that a Chittagong court directed to solve during the further investigation. The unsolved issue is identifying the vessel that transported the consignment.

PP Kamal Uddin has confirmed receiving the ME and said he would return it to CID with his opinion after analysing legal aspects.

On April 3, 2004, two cases -- one under arms act and one for smuggling of arms -- were filed with Karnaphuli Police Station against 43 people in connection with the arms and ammunition recovery at CUFL jetty. Names of two accused were later dropped from the charge sheet as they died.

CID started investigating the cases after the first IO of the cases Ahadur Rahman, also the then officer-in-charge of Karnaphuli Police Station, was dropped within less than a month for his controversial investigation.

Kabir Uddin Ahmed, Chittagong zone ASP of CID, was then appointed the next IO who submitted his report on June 11, 2004.

ASP Nawshad Ali was later appointed as the third IO and he submitted a supplementary charge sheet on August 28 of the same year.

On February 12, 2008, during the tenure of the last caretaker government, the court of Metropolitan Session Judge ANM Bashirullan ordered further investigation in the cases following an appeal by the then PP Ahsanul Haque Hena.

The court in its order directed to investigate seven specific points in the further investigation.

ASP of CID Ismail Hossain carried the further investigation as the fourth IO of the cases but he failed to submit his probe report even after six time extensions.

On January 18, 2009 a Chittagong court ordered to replace Ismail Hossain following an appeal by the state lawyer and ASP Moniruzzaman was appointed as the fifth IO.

It was alleged that the previous investigations were not done seriously and the charge sheets were prepared poorly without accusing the mastermind.
Babar, Nizami named accused



Isn't this the one where Tarique Rahman, the son of former Bangladesh Prime Minister Khaleda Zia, was involved along with 30 others in the 2004 Chittagong port arms smuggling case?
 
Interesting that the Bangaldeshi have avoided comment.

It was only Skies who openly lauded Bangaldesh's assistance to ULFA and illegals being sent and how it will change NE into a part of Bangladesh and so it is not surprising he has not surfaced to comment and his grief is understandable.

One wonders why this pregnant silence in such an important case.
 
Militancy in general apart from Naxal insurgency is dying. The government should hopefully be able to coerce and cajole ULFA into following the Mizoram model.
 
-Banglaesh got free weapons from the arms haul case
-Corrupt people are going to jail
-We(good charactered bangladeshis) stopped a terrorist organisation from getting arms

Triple win for bangladesh:enjoy:

India appreciates the good work done by Bangladesh and its honest approach to curbing terrorism and fundamentalist coots.

All said and done, Bangladesh is different in many ways to the Islam that is propagated by the ilk of al zakira.

The ethos that Al Zakira propagates with all sincerity and fervour scares anyone who wants a good relations with Bangladesh. I have not seen this sentiment in my interaction of Bangladeshis, except on this forum.

We can see that sad state Pakistan is in that is prompted by the Al Zakira mindset. And, even though I am an Indian and have been in combat against them, after the war, when we met, they proved to be excellent chaps and none of the Al Zakira type cast. And so I am surprised to see the present state of an otherwise vibrant country like Pakistan. Religious fundamentalists have ruined Pakistan!

That is why India must go an extra mile for Bangladesh (and even Pakistan) and most of us agree with that.

Good human beings do not live and survive on HATE!
 
If I am not mistaken, those weapons were intended for the ULFA.

Definitely, elements of the BNP were the true masterminds of the arms supply operations.

I don't know about Khaleda's sons, but they are corrupt.

Everyone in Bangladesh are pretty certain that it was Lutfozzaman Babar who was the arms dealer for the ULFA.

The business was a profitable one.

Money really talks in Bangladesh politics. What do we expect out of a state run by criminals!
 
Now that the Chickens are coming to roost, you all are making fun of the same.

Or scared stiff, since there is not a peep from any of you on this thread, while you are are going on on other threads as if there was no tomorrow!

Therefore, it is obvious that the inference is that you all are enamoured and steeped in corruption!
 
If Bharti Hindu can massacre our people in Kashmir, Gujarat and elsewhere in Bharat and if Bharti Hindu can encourage uprising in Chittagong hill tracts then Bangladesh has no other option but to support ULFA or whom ever willing to rise against the Bramin controlled Delhi.
 
Considering AL's merit in making reports and esp political ones, I dont think this will hold any value regardless of what it says. Also, people like Lutfozzaman Babar are history, they are deep inside jails and there is no chance of them coming back.
 
Its a known fact that the terrorists in our hill tracts are Indian funded. Either politically
or by RAW.

Our people?

Bangladeshis killed?

What were they doing there?

whom ever willing to rise against the Bramin controlled Delhi.

I think you are either an illiterate or totally vacuum cleaned between your ears.

Brahmin controlled Delhi?

Sonia Gandhi a Brahmin?

Manmohan Singh a Brahmin?

Are you a garbage in garbage out parrot steeped in false Islamic propaganda?

That you must bring in the word 'Brahmin', whether it is relevant or not.

Are you a jester running loose?

Do display some modicum of situational aware and just a touch of average intelligence.

and you are from BD Intelligence?
 
I've been to the the hills and people over there
blames terrorists getting weapons directly from India(Assam).
Now I don't know if its RAW or Ulfa but the involvement is there
quite clearly.

CHT is hills?

Anyway, you can go to the hills or to the sea or even underground.

How many RAW chaps have been nabbed?

You all love to do down India and if one was nabbed you would have gone to town!

It is you who are supplying arms to the ULFA and others!!

He meant the Chittagong Hill Tracts.
 
I know and that is why I wrote CHT.

I don't blame him for what he wrote.

It is natural.

What one cannot explain, one passes it on to the foreign intelligence agency's shoulder!

The 'foreign hand' is the best way to appear credible for things one is totally confused about and I mean, not him, but the media and others.
