Dhaka, Dec 14 (The New Age): Miscreants hurled crude bombs at the village home of Justice Jahangir
Hossain, a member of International Crimes Tribunal -1, at Mehedipur
under Senbagh upazila in Noakhali early Friday.
None of the house inmates was, however, injured in the bomb attack. Justice Jahangir now lives in Dhaka.
The
Senbagh police officer-in-charge, Saiful Islam Bhuiyan, said that
unidentified miscreants hurled crude bombs at the house of Justice
Jahangir at around 12:45am where his brother Shahadat Hossain lives in.
The
attackers also threw brick bats at the house and later fled the place
sensing the presence of police, deployed at the house for ensuring
security, he said.
The OC said that a case was lodged with the police station, but none was arrested.
Shahadat Hossain said that all of his family members escaped unhurt.
Their
house came under attack, only a day after an attack on the house of the
tribunal’s presiding judge, Justice ATM Fazle Kabir, in
Chapainawabganj.
In the early hours of Wednesday, Justice Surendra
Kumar Sinha’s ancestral home at Tilakpur in Kamalganj of Moulvibazar
also came under arson attack.
Both Justice Fazle Kabir and Justice
Jahangir Hossain are the judges of ICT, set up to try the suspects of
war crimes committed during the liberation war in 1971.
Justice
Surendra Kumar Sinha is a judge of the Appellate Division which is
hearing appeal petitions related to the war crimes case verdicts
delivered by ICTs.
