UNB, Narayanganj :
A court here on Monday placed former RAB officer Lt Commander MM Rana on a fresh five-day remand in the sensational seven-murder case.
Senior Judicial Magistrate KM Mahiuddin passed the order when Detective Branch of Police Inspector Mamunur Rashid Mondal, also investigation officer of the case, produced him before his court on expiration of his second-phase eight-day remand.
In his forwarding, the IO told the court that evidence indicate that Rana was involved in the seven murders, and sought a seven-day remand. “Important information has already been gleaned during interrogation. He needs to be grilled again for further information.”
After hearing, the court put Lt Commander Rana, former commander of Special Crime Prevention Company of RAB-11, on five days’ remand.
Police arrested MM Rana from Dhaka Cantonment area on May 18 in connection with the much-talked-about seven murders.
He was placed on a seven-day remand on the day. Later, he was remanded for eight days on May 25.
Rana was arrested a day after the Narayanganj district police arrested two other wanted ex-Rab officers-Lt Col Tareque Sayeed Mohammad and Major Arif Hossain of Bangladesh Army-from the same area.
Lt Commander Rana from Bangladesh Navy and Lt Col Tareque Sayeed Mohammad
and Major Arif Hossain from Bangladesh Army were sent on forced retirement following the allegation of their involvement in the abduction and killing of the seven people, including Narayanganj city panel mayor Nazrul Islam.
Tareque Sayeed and Arif Hossain are now on third-phase five-day remand.
On April 27, Narayanganj panel mayor Nazrul Islam and his three associates and driver were abducted from Fatullah area in Narayanganj city. Hours into their abduction, senior lawyer of the Narayanganj District Judge’s Court, Chandan Kumar Sarker, and his driver were abducted while they were going to capital Dhaka.
