Formalities underway to hang Mazed

The government is completing formalities to hang Abdul Mazed, a key fugitive convict in the killing of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman.

“The formalities to execute the verdict against Captain Abdul Mazed have begun. The sentence will be executed once the formalities are done with,” Law Minister Anisul Huq said in a video message on Tuesday, reports bdnews24.com.

He said Mazed, who was believed to have been in India, does not pose any danger of spreading the novel coronavirus in the Dhaka Central Jail in Keraniganj as he was put into solitary confinement designated for the convicts sentenced to death.

A special team of the police’s Counter Terrorism and Transnational Crime arrested Mazed in Mirpur-11 of the capital around 3:00am on Tuesday.

Judge AM Zulfikar Hayat of the Chief Metropolitan Magistrate’s Court of Dhaka ordered him into jail when the police produced him in court in the afternoon.
