With the recovery of the decomposed body of Nabir Hossain, tied with 25 kg bricks from the Shitalakkha River at Rupganj in Narayanganj, a fresh panic has been created among the locals like the much-talked about brutal seven -murder of the district in March in 2014.
The criminals at first killed Nabir Hossain, 35, a day-labourer and sent a Short Message Service (SMS) from his (Nabir) cell phone to Milon Miah, a former UP member.
The SMS read as “Uncle Milon, I’m Nabir going by Hua Ship of Nepal from Chittagong. Don’t think about me. Tell my parents that I don’t have anytime to make a phone call to them right now.”
According to the police and locals, as the criminals had sent the SMS thinking that Nabir’s body would not be found and his relatives would naturally think that he might have gone abroad. On Friday police recovered Nabir’s decomposed body from Chanpara rehabilitation centre. Later, victim’s relatives identified the body.
Victim’s brother Zakaria said on October 20 Nabir along with Uttam, son of Sukumar, left his Atlashpur house for Kanchan. “Since then Nabir had been missing. Later I filed a General Diary (GD) with the Rupganj police station,” he told journalists. Later Nabir’s father Abdullah Miah filed a murder case against Kabir Hossain, son of Abul Hossain, Liton, Uttam and three others unidentified persons. Police also arrested Kabir Hossain on Friday while trying to flee the country for Singapore where he used to work.
The influential quarters were very active and put pressure on Nabir’s family for not filing case against Kabir.
Victim’s father Abdullah Miah said that their family members are now under tremendous pressure from the influential quarters.
“We feel helpless and insecure as the influential quarters continue to put pressure on my family members as well as issued death threat as Kabir’s name was mentioned in the case,” Abdullah Miah told local journalists.
When contacted Jashim Uddin, Investigation Officer (IO) of Rupganj police station said Kabir is now being interrogated. Police also launched a massive hunt to net the other suspected criminals. Local said, Nabir had long enmity with Kabir over a boundary dispute. Earlier, Kabir along with his relatives launched attack on Nabir’s family members and beat them up indiscriminately.
Nabir had protested the attack and filed a case against the assaulters including Kabir. As a result Kabir became furious and issued death threat to Nabirs’ family members. Later Kabir left country for Singapore. After Kabir returned home last month, Nabir went on missing within two days.
