The second court of Additional District Judge here yesterday deferred charge framing in Rajshahi University (RU) professor Muhammad Yunus murder case against eight militants of Jama'atul Mujahidin, Bangladesh (JMB) for the third time.
Judge Lutfa Begum fixed October 15 for charge framing after rejecting the bail prayer of Shahidullah Mahbub, husband of executed JMB leader Siddikul Islam Bangla Bhai's niece.
Additional public prosecutor Masum Ahmed Tipu told newsmen that charge framing deferred yesterday as the district law and order committee sent a letter to the home ministry for trial of the case in Speedy Trial Tribunal.
Charge framing was delayed twice earlier as law enforcing agencies could not produce all the accused before the court.
Criminal Investigation Department (CID) inspector Mohammad Helauddin pressed charges against a total of eight militants on September 10 last year. Thirteen accused including six cadres of Islami Chhatra Shibir were dropped from the charge sheet.
Earlier police reports on the murder found alleged involvement of some Shibir cadres, but the investigation took new turn following confessional statement of executed JMB chief Shaikh Abdur Rahman, it was stated in charge sheet.
Later, two prime accused -- Shafiullah Tarek (grandson of suspected militant kingpin Asadullah Al Galib) and Shahidullah Mahbub (husband of executed JMB leader Siddikul Islam Bangla Bhai's niece) gave judicial confessions.
The other accused are zonal JMB commanders Abu Isa Enamul and Golamur Rahman Mostafa, and Galib's Ahle Hadith Jubo Shangha members Abul Kashem Tufan, Abdul Matin Bomaru, Abdur Rahman Arif and Zakir Zayed.
Other exempted accused are JMB militants Fazle Rabbi Sanaullah, Abdur Rashid Shilpi, Asadullah Asad Enamul, Masud, and Shibir men Sirajus Salekin, Abu Zafar Babu, Zillur Rahman, Mizanur Rahman Rumon, Nazimul Islam Bachchu, Monirul Islam.
Yunus, a professor of economics, was killed while he was on a morning walk near his Binodhpur house on December 24, 2004. He was president of RU Bangabandhu Parishad and senior vice-president of Bangladesh Economic Association.
