Family of slain Wasiur Raza Chowdhury alias Razi, deputy manager of the state-run Jalalabad Gas Transmission and Distribution Company, yesterday said some of the accused are trying to implicate them (family members) in a false rape case to put the investigation in the wrong direction.
Addressing a press conference at Sylhet Press Club in the afternoon, Wasiur's maternal uncle Md Badrul Haque and his son Ashraful Haque Mamed said wife of Saikat, one of the seven accused, has already filed a petition with Kotwali police, bringing rape charges against them.
They demanded immediate arrest of the accused and urged the home minister and the Inspector General of Police (IGP) to ensure proper investigation into the killing case.
Wasiur Raza Chowdhury alias Razi, 37, was beaten to death by a gang of criminals at Mazumderpara in the city as he tried to save his cousin from their attack on the night of July 5.
He had been staying in an under-construction building of his maternal uncle in the area and used to supervise the construction work of the building as his uncle stays abroad.
Hearing hue and cry at around 10:00pm, Wasiur came out of the house and saw some local youths beating up his cousin Mamed.
As Wasiur asked them to stop beating, they swooped on him and beat him up severely. He was taken to a private hospital in a critical condition and later shifted to Osmani Medical College and Hospital where the attending doctors declared him dead.
The gang swooped on Mamed when he asked them about the iron rods stolen from in front of the house in the morning.
A case was filed with Kotwali Police Station, accusing Saikat, Abdul Khalique Milton, Mizanur Rahman Mizan, Ferdous and Shiplu and Afzal. But none of them was arrested as of yesterday.
