A Dhaka court on Tuesday recorded the depositions of three more witnesses in the murder case filed in connection with the killing of former Dhaka University Professor Dr. Humayun Azad.

Ahmed Morshed and the then PG Hospital physician Ranjan Kumar Dey. With these three, the court so far recorded the depositions of 25 witnesses.
Of the accused in the case, Rakibul Hasan alias Hafij Mahamud, 35, was snatched away with two others from a police van and later he was killed allegedly in a crossfire. Other two accused persons are JMB Sura member Salauddin alias Salehin, 38, and Rakibul Hasan alias Hafiz Mahamud, 35.
Accused JMB Sura member Mizanur Rahman alias Minhaz alias Bhagne Shahid was produced to the court. The remaining accused in the case Nur Mohammad alias Sabu is at large.
On April 30 last year, CID Inspector Lutfor Rahman submitted the charge sheet of the case against the five accused to the court.
A decade ago, on February 27 in 2004, miscreants hit Dr Azad, a noted writer, by sharp knives when he was waiting in front of the Atomic Energy Commission for a rickshaw to go home from Bangla Academy Ekushey Boi Mela.
The same year, in August, Humayun Azad went to Germany to attend a conference and died there.
