His marriage with Sanjida Akhter Piu, a relative of local Jamaat-e-Islami leader and former MP Shafiqul Islam, was solemnised in the jail with much pomp last Friday.

It has been reported that turmeric paste was applied on his body in the jail itself and later on arrangements were also made for a post-marriage meeting of bride and groom at the jail gate from 10pm to 11pm.

The prison marriage of Biplob, whose death sentence was commuted by the President, raised eyebrows.

However, jail authorities had been maintaining from the outset that it was held without any rules being violated.

Even State Minister for Home Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal had a similar opinion.

Amid such claims, Biplob was shifted from the jail in his home district.

Jailor of Lakshmipur jail Jainal Abedin said Biplob was sent to Comilla jail at noon following an order from high-ups.

With an escort of 12 policemen he was shifted in a white microbus.

His wife Piu, mother Najma Taher, younger brother ‘Shibul’ and other members of the family called on him before he was taken to Comilla jail, the jailor said.

Biplob was sentenced to death for murdering opposition BNP leader Nurul Islam in 2003.

But during the last tenure of the Awami League government late President Zillur Rahman commuted the sentence to life term.

He is also a convict in two other murder cases.
