Meghalaya: There is a stir in Bangladesh after the ongoing violence over the murder of Inquilab Manch convener Usman Hadi. Meanwhile, Bangladesh Police claims that Hadi’s killers have entered India. However, security agencies in Meghalaya have rejected this claim of Bangladesh Police on Sunday.
It is noteworthy that Hadi was shot in the head during election campaigning in Dhaka on 12 December. He was later airlifted to Singapore for better treatment, but died of his injuries on 18 December.
What did BSF say?
OP Upadhyay, BSF Chief Inspector General in Meghalaya, said, “These claims are baseless and misleading. No evidence has been found, nor has any information been received that any person has crossed the International Border into Meghalaya from Haluaghat sector. BSF has neither seen any such incident nor received any such report.”
A senior police officer of Meghalaya has also given a statement on the claims of Bangladesh. “There has been no input or intelligence that the suspects were present in the Garo Hills area,” he said. He also said that local police units have not observed any such activity and coordination with central agencies is ongoing.
What did Bangladesh Police claim about the accused in Hadi murder case?
Bangladesh Police claimed that 2 suspects in Hadi murder case fled to India. A day before this claim, a top official of Dhaka Metropolitan Police claimed that the two main suspects of Hadi murder case entered Meghalaya through Haluaghat border “with the help of local associates”.
“The suspects, Faisal Karim Masood and Alamgir Shaikh, crossed into the Indian state of Meghalaya with the help of local associates,” Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) Additional Police Commissioner (Crime and Operations) S N Mohammad Nazrul Islam told a press conference at the DMP media centre.
The suspects entered India through Haluaghat border. After crossing the border, he was initially received by a man named Purti. Later, a taxi driver named Sami took them to Tura town in Meghalaya.”
