Rapid Action Battalion officials on Friday said that they were looking for the people who allegedly attacked the battalion team to take away Juba League leader HM Jahid Siddique Tarek from its custody causing the death of Tarek and another on Wednesday night.
The sacked Juba League Dhaka city (south) unit joint secretary, Tarek, also the prime suspect of the killing the unit’s organising secretary Reazul Haque Khan Milky on early Tuesday, was killed in a ‘crossfire’ when he was being taken to Gulshan police station in the battalion custody.
One of the alleged attackers, Shah Alam, was also killed in the ‘crossfire’, the battalion claimed.
Following the incident, the battalion filed two cases —
one for murder and the other under Arms Act — with the airport police station accusing unnamed people.
The RAB-1 commanding officer, Lieutenant Colonel Kismat Hayat, said that they were now looking for the attackers on the battalion team.
Shah Alam’s brother Nur Alam, on Thursday night said that Shah Alam brother had been missing for 10 days.
The inspector general of police, Hassan Mahmood Khandker, on Friday said that investigation would be launched into the killing of Tarek during the ‘gunfight.’
Action will be taken, if any negligence of the law enforcers is found, he said.
After preliminary investigations, the investigators claimed that they found Tarek and Juba League leader Shakhawat Hossain Chanchal along with associates shot Reazul to death in front of the Shoppers’ World at Gulshan on early Tuesday.
Tarek was arrested on Tuesday and was killed in ‘crossfire’ at Kawla in the capital on Wednesday night.
The battalion investigators said that Reazul’s killing was planed at least six months ago at a meeting at Eskaton in the city. Several attempts were also made earlier.
Reazul’s brother major Rashedul Haque Khan, also a former battalion official, filed a case with the Gulshan police on Tuesday night against 11 people including Tarek.
