Interpol issues red warrant against Nur

Interpol has issued the red warrant against Nur Hossain, the prime accused in Narayanganj seven-murder case.

The France-based international organisation of police yesterday posted Nur Hossain’s profile on its Red Warrant page on wanted people.

According to the Interpol website, the red warrant was issued against Nur for his alleged involvement with six crimes, including murder, hiding evidence of the crime, kidnapping/abducting persons with intent to wrongful confinement, wrongful restraint, impersonating a public servant  and group involvement in crime.

On May 22, Bangladesh police sought the help of Interpol for the capture of Nur Hossain.

A letter had been sent to the Interpol authority in this regard, Narayanganj Superintendent of Police Khandaker Mahid Uddin told the Dhaka Tribune.

On May 12, Rapid Action Battalion Additional Director General (operations) Col Ziaul Ahsan said they had specific information that Nur Hossain had fled the country through the Benapole border on the night of May 2 and he had been in Kolkata.

However, police officials were still uncertain about Nur’s whereabouts.

Narayanganj ward councillor Nazrul Islam, lawyer Chandan Sarkar and five others were abducted on April 27 by some criminals who were allegedly assisted by three top officials of RAB 11. Their bodies were later found in the Shitalakkhya River on April 30 and May 1.
