Bangladesh Police forwarded a letter afresh to the Interpol to know current status of the six fugitive killers of Father of the Nation Bangabandu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman as they are changing their locations, reports BSS. Police and officials earlier said the fugitives appeared to be on movements from one country to another or were changing their locations to evade the security clampdown. "We have sent a fresh letter to the Interpol through the Home Ministry few days back requesting it to inform us the latest location of the six fugitive killers as they have been changing their locations," Inspector General of Police (IGP) AKM Shahidul Hoque told BSS.
All necessary measures have already been taken to bring the fugitive killers back as the nation is set to recall Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman with profound gratitude on August 15 this year, marking his 40th anniversary, he also said. Shahidul Hoque said two of the absconding Bangabandhu Murder Trial convicts, former Lt Col SHMB Noor Chowdhury is staying in Canada and Lt Col Rashed Chowdhury in the United States.
The U.S. Ambassador to Bangladesh Marcia Stephens Bloom Bernicat on Thursday assured of assistance of bringing back Bangabandhu’s killer Rashed Chowdhury and war criminal Ashrafuzzaman Khan, who are believed to be in the USA.
She made the assurance after paying a courtesy call to State Minister for Foreign Affairs Shahriar Alam at his secretariat office yesterday (Thursday). The IGP said legal and diplomatic efforts are on to bring back the six fugitive killers home, adding “the government has sent information along with photographs of the fugitive killers to important airports of the world through the Interpol to arrest them from anywhere they are.”
