Former state minister for home Lutfozzaman Babar has been taken to
Dhaka Medical College and Hospital (DMCH) for medical checkup following
an order of a Sylhet court dealing with former finance minister SAMS
Kibria murder case.
The jail authorities along with Babar, an accused in former finance
minister SMA Kibria murder case, started from Kashimpur Jail-1 in
Gazipur for DMCH around 8:00am, said Subrata Kumar Bala, jail super of
the jail.
“Babar has been taken to hospital in compliance with a Sylhet court order,” Bala said.
The Sylhet Speedy Trial Tribunal on Thursday asked the Kashimpur jail
authorities for his check up following an appeal submitted by Babar
through his lawyer, said Kishore Kumar Kar, public prosecutor of the
tribunal.
On September 13, the tribunal framed 32 people including Babar in the murder case of the Awami League leader.
The then opposition lawmaker and Awami League leader Kibria and four
others were killed in a grenade attack on a rally in Habiganj on January
27, 2005.
Babar is also a death row convict in Chittagong arms haul case filed for smuggling in 10 truckloads of firearms in 2004.
