Conviction warrant against AKM Mohiuddin sent to Dhaka jail


A Dhaka court yesterday sent a conviction warrant to the Dhaka Central Jail against AKM Mohiuddin Ahmed, a condemned killer of Bangabandhu and most of his family members.

Judge AKM Ishtiaque Hussain of the District and Sessions Judge's Court passed the order following a written petition of Rangabali police in Patuakhali district to show him arrested in the Bangabandhu murder case.

Three other sessions courts had earlier showed Mohiuddin arrested in three cases and sent conviction and custody warrants.

On Wednesday, police submitted petitions for showing Mohiuddin arrested in four cases including the Bangabandhu murder case.

Sub-Inspector (SI) Mojibur Rahman of Rangabali Police Station Wednesday sent arrest warrants, issued earlier on different dates, of four cases filed with different police stations to the court of CMM Court, Dhaka.

The arrest warrants are of the Bangabandhu murder case, jail killing case, Abdur Rob Serniabat murder case and Mohammadpur 14-murder case.

In the petition, Mojibur also prayed for showing Mohiuddin arrested in those cases saying that the convict had been absconding abroad for long.

Mohiuddin was sent to condemned cell at Dhaka Central Jail on his arrival from the United States on Monday.

A trial court on November 8, 1998 sentenced him to death along with 14 other former and dismissed army men for killing Bangabandhu and 26 others. The High Court on April 30, 2001 upheld the punishment of 12.
