Farasath Ali, a valiant Freedom Fighter, today testified as ninth prosecution witness (PW) in the crimes against humanity case against five alleged Razakars from Moulvibazar.
Farasath, now working as the Chairman of NRB Commercial Bank, lost his elder brother and Freedom Fighter Nojabat Ali in 1971 as he was martyred by the Pakistani occupation army after being apprehended and tortured by Razakars including Shamsul Hossain Tarafder alias Ashraf, Md Nesar Ali, Yunus Ahmed, Md Ujer Ahmed Chowdhury and Mobarak Miah.
“Razakars along with Pakistani army men raided our village on the dawn of November 29, 1971. They apprehended my brother Nojabat, our neighbor Abdul Basit Badshah Miah and his brother Abdul Kadir. Razakar Ujer during the raid took a grenade to Pakistani army captain leading the raiding force and falsely said he recovered it from our house.
