Chakrabarty passed the order asking Nur Hossain to repatriate Bangladesh by December 15. Earlier, the Indian Home Ministry asked the concerned authorities to withdraw all cases filed against Nur Hossain and send him back to Bangladesh.
West Bengal government prosecutor Bikash Ranjan Dey told journalists that Nur Hossain is a hardcore criminal of Bangladesh.
“Earlier Interpol issued the red warrant against Nur Hossain and his profile has remained on its Red Warrant page on wanted people. As he trespassed into India, cases were filed against him,” the public prosecutor said.
He added as Bangladesh government requested India to return him for his trial, accepting the appeal the court issued the order to make an arrangement to repatriate him to his country.
“The government had filed an appeal for withdrawal of the charges against Hossain under Sec 321 of Indian Penal Code, which judicial magistrate Chakrabarty accepted on Thursday,” Bikash Ranjan Dey said.
He said the West Bengal police will hand over Nur Hossain to the Border Security Force, who will later handover him to the Border Guard Bangladesh in Benapole-Petropole borders.
On June 14 in 2014, the West Bengal police arrested Nur Hossain from an apartment in Kolkata. Since then he has been languishing in jail there. He was also placed before the court in several times.
According to the Interpol website, the red warrant was issued against Nur for his alleged involvement with six crimes, including murder, hiding evidence of the crime, kidnapping persons with intent to wrongful confinement, wrongful restraint, impersonating a public servant and group involvement in crime.
As the new extradition treaty between Bangladesh and India has been signed there would be no bar to send back Nur Hossain to Bangladesh, the public prosecutor said.
When contacted, Superintendent of Police of Narayanganj Khandakar Mahid Uddin on Friday told The New Nation that they are very happy with the Indian court verdict and ready to receive Nur Hossain.
“We are eagerly waiting to receive Nur Hossain, the prime accused in seven-sensational murder case. If we get back him immediately, we will do everything relating to seven-murder cases, which were filed against him,” he said.
On April 27 in 2014, Narayanganj panel mayor Nazrul Islam and his three associates and driver were abducted from Fatullah area in the city. At the same time, senior lawyer of the Narayanganj District Judge’s Court, Chandan Kumar Sarker, and his driver were abducted on their way to capital Dhaka.
Three days into their abduction, their bodies were recovered from the Shitalakhya river on April 30 last year.
Later, the two cases were filed in connection with the murders. Nazrul’s wife Selina Islam Beauty filed a case against six people, including NCC councillor Nur Hossain, while Chandan’s son-in-law Bijoy Kumar Paul filed the other case against some unknown people.
Later, Shahidul Islam, Nazrul’s father-in-law, claimed that RAB officials killed Nazrul and others in exchange for Tk 6 crore from 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.
Earlier, police submitted reports on seizing property of eight fugitive accused, including Nur Hossain, in the cases before the court.
The other fugitive accused: are sepoy Mahiuddin Munshi, Sergeant Enamul Kabir, constable Habibur Rahman Habib, Salaullah Sana, Manager Shahjahan, Jamal Uddin and Selim.
On April 8, detectives submitted chargesheet against 35 people, including three sacked Rab officials-Lt Col Tareque Sayeed Mohammad, Major Arif Hossain and Lt Commander MM Rana-and Nur Hossain, in connection with the sensational seven murders.
Of them, 22 were arrested while 13, including the prime accused Nur Hossain, remained absconding since the murders.
