| Spot-death on the incident of Ramna Batamul, 2001 |
The nation will commemorate the 10 anniversary of the well-planned deadly explosions at Ramna Batamul. In a well-planned attack on April 14, 2001, militants threw grenades into the crowd, killing at least 10 people and wounding 50 others, blowing limbs off spectators as thousands gathered at Ramna Batamul in the capital to celebrate Pahela Baishakh, the Bengali New Year's Day.
On the day of the incident, Nilkhet Police Camp sergeant Amal Chandra Chanda filed the two cases under killing and explosives acts with Ramna Police Station.
After the case had changed hands of six investigation officers, the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) inspector Abu Hena Mohammad Yusuf pressed charges in the court against 14 accused in the two cases on Nov 29, 2008.
The detained are Harkat-ul-Jihad-al-Islami leaders Mufti Abdul Hannan, Arif Hasan Sumaon, Shahadat Ullah Jewell, Hafez Maulana Abu Taher and Maulana Abdur Rauf. Maulana Akbar Hossain is on bail.
The case records say the two cases went to two speedy trial tribunals, yet the proceedings stalled. According to lawyers and records, the murder case failed to make headway due to absence of the investigation officer and other police officers.
The explosives case is waiting for a High Court directive.
As the case was not resolved within the stipulated 135 trial days due to the absence of the main witnesses, including the investigation officer, it went back to the Metropolitan Sessions Judges Court on May 24 last year.
