Chittagong Bureau : The court has granted a five-day remand to interrogate former police superintendent Babul Akter, in the murder case of his wife Mahmuda Khanam Mitu .

Chittagong Metropolitan Magistrate Sarwar Jahan passed the order after a hearing at around 3pm on Wednesday.

On Tuesday, Babul Akhter, the plaintiff in the Mitu murder case, was summoned to the Chittagong PBI for questioning. He was then taken into custody.

Earlier, in the day, Mitu’s father Mosharraf Hossain filed a case with Panchlaish Police Station against eight people including Babul Akter.

In the case statement, Mosharraf claimed that Babul killed his wife over extra marital relationship.

The other accused in the case are—Musa, Kalu, Ehteshamul Bhola, Munir, Saidul Islam Shikdar alias Sakku, Shahjahan, Anwar and Wasim.

Musa, who directly took part in the killing as per the directive of Babul , remained absconding.

PBI also found that Babul made phone call and send messages to Musa after the murder of Mitu.

However, PBI submitted the report of the case filed by Babul Akhter before the court.

On June 5, 2016, unidentified assailants gunned down Babul’s wife Mitu at the port city’s GEC intersection while she was going to drop her son Mahir Akhter, 7, for a bus of Chittagong Cantonment Public School and College.

Soon after the crime, Babul had filed a murder case with Panchlaish Police Station against three unidentified men.
