DHAKA, March 23, 2022 (BSS) - A special court here today sentenced two people to 10-year imprisonment and acquitted 10 others in a case lodged over the murder of Md Nasirullah Khan, an assistant adjutant of Ansar, in capital's Uttarkhan area in 2008.

The two convicts are- Arab Ali Hawlader alias Dakait Ali and Rahman Khan.

Judge Abu Jafar Md Kamruzzaman of Dhaka Speedy Trial Tribunal-1 pronounced the judgment, sentencing the two convicts to 10-year imprisonment each under section 396 and 10-year imprisonment each under section 412. But the court said the both sentences of jail would run concurrently, tribunal clerk Shamsuddin told BSS.

A gang of dacoits broke into the house of Md Nasirullah Khan on September 7, 2008. They shot him twice and robbed the home. As the dacoits left the home, neighbours rushed Nasirullah to Dhaka Medical College Hospital (DMCH), where the attending doctors declared him dead.

Nasirullah's brother Md Shamsuddin Khan filed the case with Uttarkhan Police Station. Police on April 30, 2009, filed charge-sheet against 14 accused. The court today came up with the judgment after examining total 23 witnesses on different hearing dates.
