A Chattogram court on Sunday shown former Chattogram Superintendent of Police (SP) Babul Akter arrested in a case filed by him over the murder of his wife Mahmuda Khanam Mitu.
Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Mohammad Abdul Halim accepted the PBI Inspector Abu Jafar Mohammad Omar Faruk to show Babul Akter arrested in the Babul’s case filed with city’s Panchliash thana in 2016.
Earlier on December 30, PBI Chattogram Metro Inspector Abu Jafar, the investigating officer (IO) of the case, filed a petition before the court to show arrest of warrant to Babul Akter in the case.
Babul Akter’s lawyer Advocate Iftekhar Simul Chowdhury told BSS that the court accepted the PBI petition in a case filed over the murder of his wife Mahmuda Khanam Mitu.
He was also arrested in a case filed by Mitu’s father in the same incident.
Unidentified assailants gunned down Babul’s wife Mitu in city’s GEC intersection area while she was going to drop her seven-year-old son for a bus of Chattogram Cantonment Public School and College on June 5, 2016.
Soon after the murder, Babul filed a murder case with Panchliash thana against three unidentified persons.
PBI submitted final report in the murder case on May 11 in 2021. They also found Babul’s involvement in the case. Later, Babul’s father-in-law Mosharraf Hossain filed a fresh case against eight people including Babul on May 12.
