Investigators of the International Crimes Tribunal have grilled Jamaat-e-Islami assistant secretary general Abdul Quader Molla at 'safe home' on war crimes charges.
The interrogation, which started at 10:00am, with a doctor from Dhaka Central Jail and a lawyer of Molla, Farid Uddin Khan, in an adjoining room, continued until 5:00pm on Wednesday.
ICT investigation panel acting coordinator M Sanaul Haque told bdnews24.com that jail authorities took Molla to the 'safe home' around 9:00am and the quizzing started at 10:00am after his medical check-up.
Molla was sent back to the jail after the interrogation, Haque said.
A house at the city's Dhanmondi that the ICT investigation panel is using to quiz suspected war criminals is called 'safe home'.
The ICT on June 1 permitted the investigation panel to quiz Jamaat leaders M Kamaruzzaman and Molla one day each.
The panel on Sunday issued letters to the lawyers for Kamaruzzaman and Molla, informing them about the interrogation dates.
In the appeal to quiz Molla, prosecutor Syed Rezaur Rahman said there had been progress in the investigation into allegations against Jamaat leaders Matiur Rahman Nizami, Ali Ahsan Mohammad Mojaheed, Quader Molla and Kamaruzzman.
He said Nizami and Mojaheed were grilled earlier and it was necessary to quiz Molla and Kamaruz-zaman to crosscheck the information obtained from Nizami and Mojaheed.
'More evidence is to come against them. Specific charges have been found against them that they have committed atrocities and led crimes against humanity during the Liberation War,' he said.
On July 13 last year, police arrested Molla and Kamaruzzaman in a case filed with the Pallabi Police Station, accusing them of being involved in mass killings during the Liberation War.]
