Former SP Babul Akter has been produced before a Chattogram court in connection with a new case filed over the murder of his wife Mahmuda Akter Mitu five years ago.
Mitu’s father, Mosharraf Hossain, filed the new case over his daughter’s death at Chattogram’s Panchlaish Police Station on Wednesday after the Police Bureau of Investigation said it had found evidence linking Babul to the killing, reports bdnews24.com.
Babul, who had once served the Chattogram Metropolitan Police, was brought to the court premises in a police car at 2:30pm.
He has been in the custody of investigators since he came in for questioning at the PBI offices in Chattogram on Tuesday.
Mitu was hacked and shot dead near the GEC Intersection in Chattogram on the morning of Jun 5, 2016, while she was taking her son to school. It happened a few days after Babul had joined the police headquarters in Dhaka, following promotion and transfer.
After the killing of his wife, Babul himself filed a murder case against unknown suspects with the port city’s Panchlaish Police Station.
Investigating officer PBI Inspector Santosh Kumar Chakma submitted the final report in the case to the court on Wednesday afternoon.
