A case was filed against 28 people, including former home minister Mohiuddin Khan Alamgir and Rapid Action Battalion former chief Benazir Ahmed on charge of killing an Islami Chhatra Shibir leader in 2015.
Kabirul Islam, maternal uncle of deceased Shibir leader Asadullah Tuhin, filed the lawsuit with the Chapainawabganj Sadar police station on Friday night, accusing 18 named and 10 unnamed people.
Along with Mohiuddin and Benazir, RAB 5 Chapainawabganj Camp commander Major Kamruzzaman Pavel, Chapainawabganj Awami League president Golam Rabbani, general secretary and former lawmaker Abdul Odud, and vice-president and former Chapainawabganj zila parishad chairman Ruhul Amin were also named in the case, among others.
SM Zakaria, officer-in-charge of Chapainawabganj Sadar model police station, told New Age that the lawsuit was yet to be recorded as a case till Saturday evening, as they were investigating it.
According to the first information report, RAB members picked up Tuhin blindfolded from his house on January 26 in 2015 and killed him.
The then RAB officials ran a car over the dead body of Tuhin to show that the latter died in a road accident, the FIR reads.
‘Even the hospital doctors were forced to provide a false and fabricated autopsy report of Tuhin’s body’, it further reads.
Plaintiff Kabirul Islam said that the then RAB and police members also forced them to bury Tuhin’s body in haste.
‘As the situation and environment is favorable, we have filed the case. All those involved in the incident have been accused,’ he added.
