“When Babul Akhter was working as the additional police super in Cox’s Bazar in 2013, he developed a field-level NGO worker. But, as their affair became known, Mitu had a quarrel with husband Babul. My daughter told us about it before her death. We also tried to resolve the matter at the family level, but could not succeed. At one stage, Babul and the woman threatended to kill Mitu,” said Mosharraf Hossain while talking to journalists after filing a murder case accusing eight people including his son-in-law Babul Akhter with Panchlaish police station in Chattogram at about 2:00pm on Wednesday.

Mosharraf said eight persons including Babul were made accused in the case. The names of the rest seven accused were known in police investigation. The accused are Babul Akhter, Kamrul Sikder Musa, Ehteshamul Huq Bhola, Mohammad Wasim, Mohammad Anwar, Mohammad Shahjahan, Mohammad Saju and Mohammad Kalu.

Mosharraf Hossain alleged that the accused killed his daughter according to a plan hatched by Babul.

“Following the murder of my daughter, Babul came to my house and stayed there,” he said.

Asked why did he delay in filling the case, Mitu’s father said he got confirmed about Babul’s involvement later on. Two cases are not filled for a single incident. He filed the case after the Police Bureau of Investigation (PBI) submitted the final report.
