Ctg Arms Haul: CID grills Rezzakul, Rahim

Investigators yesterday interrogated two former National Security Intelligence (NSI) directors general at Chittagong Central Jail gate in connection with the 10-truck arms haul cases.

Investigation officer of the cases Md Muniruzzaman Chowdhury, also a senior assistant superintendent of Criminal Investigation Department, quizzed Brig Gen (retd) Rezzakul Haider Chowdhury and Brig Gen (retd) Abdur Rahim. Two other CID officials assisted him in the three-hour long interrogation that began around 12:30pm.

The IO declined to make any comment on the outcome of the grilling.

Muniruzzaman moved a petition on April 12 before a Chittagong court for quizzing the duo.

Former Directorate General of Forces' Intelligence DG Maj Gen (retd) Sadik Hasan Rumi on April 13 stated to the court that Rezzakul was involved in smuggling of the arms cache.

The court on April 17 directed the authorities concerned to interrogate them at jail gate.

Police seized 10 truckloads of weapons and ammunition from the jetty of Chittagong Urea Fertiliser Ltd on the night of April 1 in 2004.

Later they filed two cases -- one under the arms act and another for smuggling.
