Later, Shahidul Islam, Nazrul’s father-in-law, claimed that Rab officials killed Nazrul and others in exchange for Tk 6 crore from city councillor Nur Hossain, the prime accused in the murder case, and other accomplices.
The three former officials of RAB-11 in Narayanganj-Lt Col Tareque Sayeed Mohammad, Major Arif Hossain and Navy’s Lt Commander MM Rana — were sent on forced retirement for their alleged involvement in the incident. They are now in jail.
On June 14 last, Paschimbanga police arrested Nur Hossain from an apartment in Kolkata. Meanwhile, Beauty who was present at the court expressed her dissatisfaction over the exclusion of the names of five FIR-named accused in the charge sheet. She also said she would take recourse to law against the exemption.
