After 15 days of preventive detention, he was sent to jail. The administrative investigation found Pradeep’s involvement
Although he was in preventive detention for 15 days in four phases, Major (Retired) Sinha said. The fired CO from the Teknaf police station, Pradeep Kumar Das, did not give a confessional statement in court about his involvement in the murder of Rashed Khan. The court ordered him sent to jail after he was presented in court Tuesday after a fourth pretrial detention.
Meanwhile, the Administrative Investigation Committee created to investigate Sinha’s murder has spoken with six people. The committee is known to have OC Pradeep’s role in Sinha’s murder. However, the investigation committee has not yet been able to speak with Pradeep Das. The main defendant in the Sinha murder case, Inspector Liaquat Ali, and the third defendant, SI Nandadulal, have made confessional statements under Section 164 in the reserved court. The second defendant in the case is Pradeep Kumar Das. A RAB team presented Pradeep in the court of Senior Judge Tamanna Farah around 3:30 pm yesterday. He was sent to jail around 4:30 pm.
Khairul Islam, RAB-15 deputy police superintendent, who is investigating the case, said former OC Pradeep Kumar, who was fired in the Sinha murder case, has been in pretrial detention for 15 days in four stages to be interrogated. During the interrogation, he provided a lot of important information about the case. We are verifying and classifying that information. He added that the second defendant in the Sinha murder case is OC Pradeep. He did not testify in court under section 164. The lead defendant and the third defendant have made confessional statements in court.
According to judicial sources, on the day of the handover, the court sent seven defendants, including OC Pradeep, for seven days. Subsequently, the court granted OC Pradeep pretrial detention for four days on August 24, three days on August 26, and one day on August 31 for a total of 15 days. After receiving the court order, the RAB interrogated him in preventive detention for 15 days. However, Inspector Liaquat on Sunday and SI Nandadulal on Monday gave confessional statements in court. They were then sent to jail by court order.
Pradeep’s involvement in the administrative investigation has also been found: the investigative committee formed by the Ministry of the Interior in the case of Sinha’s murder has taken the testimony of 8 people, including the imam-muezzin-villagers of the mosque and the policeman. However, the inquiry committee was unable to take Pradeep Kumar Das’s testimony until yesterday. As a result, the report of Sinha’s murder has long been stalled due to OC Pradeep, despite the report being submitted more than once. The investigating commission has until September 6 to present its report. Chittagong Division Additional Division Commissioner Mohammad Mizanur Rahman, head of the investigation committee, provided this information.
The head of the investigation committee told the media that the investigation committee did not meet with OC Pradeep. The investigation committee met all day Sunday and asked the ministry to extend the committee’s mandate. Consequently, the ministry has extended the deadline to September 6.
He added that the committee has taken statements from six people involved in Sinha’s murder. Most of the statements stemmed from OC Pradeep Sinha being closely involved in the murder. An investigation report should be prepared analyzing the data provided by him regarding his statement. Meanwhile, the investigation report has been produced. The investigation is in the last stage. Just waiting for the statement from OC Pradeep. On two occasions we have appealed to the court to take a statement. As OC Pradeep was in pre-trial detention at the time, the court said, the statement can only be taken after pre-trial detention ends. Meanwhile, the court sent OC Pradeep to jail after his pre-trial detention. We look forward to taking your statement soon. We will be able to present the report within the extended term of the investigation committee until September 6.
Human chain to demand punishment from the policemen involved: Sinha said. A human chain program was held at Cox’s Bazar to demand exemplary punishment for the police officers involved in the murder of Rashed Khan. The program, which took place Monday in front of the Cox’s Bazar Deputy Commissioner’s Office, was attended by various human rights activists, social organizations and people from all walks of life, including men and women who were harassed by OC Pradeep. Cox’s Bazar District Awami League Organizing Secretary Nazneen Sarwar Kaberi, OC Pradeep’s tortured journalist Faridul Mostafa, and other victims of police torture spoke on the occasion. Relatives of those killed in the alleged police shooting, including OC Pradeep, which was looted in Teknaf and Ukhia in the Cox’s Bazar district, and victims of police torture, participated in the human chain. Major (Ret.) Sinha said. The statement made on a mobile phone from Dhaka demanding punishment for the policemen involved in the murder of Rashed Khan’s mother was broadcast on the human station’s microphone.
On the night of July 31, Sinha Mohammad Rashed Khan, a retired army officer, was shot dead by the police at the Shamlapur checkpoint in Teknaf. Sinha’s older sister, Sharmin Shahriar Ferdous, filed a murder case in the Cox’s Bazar Magistrate Court on August 5 for the incident. 9 people were charged in this. Seven police officers charged in the case surrendered to court. They were later fired. After Sinha’s murder, the RAB arrested three witnesses in the case brought up by the police. The RAB also arrested three more APBN members on charges of involvement in the killings. A total of 13 defendants are in jail. So far there have been five cases in this regard. RAB-15 is investigating four of them.
