A team of Counter Terrorism and Transnational Crime (CTTC) unit of Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) on April 7 arrested Captain Abdul Majed, convicted killer of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, near Gabtoli Bus Terminal in Dhaka city of Dhaka District in Dhaka Division, reports The Daily Star. Hours after his arrest, Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Court sent Captain Abdul Majed to Dhaka Central Jail. Hemayet Uddin Khan, Assistant Public Prosecutor of the Chief Metropolitan Magistrate's Court of Dhaka, told, "Majed returned to the country on March 15 or 16 from Kolkata. He claimed that he had been hiding there for about 23 years." A CTTC high official, requesting anonymity, said during primary interrogation, Majed, the self-declared killer of Bangabandhu, told them that after returning home, he stayed in different houses, but had communications with his family. Majed was present at Dhanmondi Road-32 on August 15, 1975, when Bangabandhu and most of his family members were assassinated. After the killing of Bangabandhu, Majed performed his duties at the Bangabhaban and some other places as per the instructions of late Ziaur Rahman. The late President Ziaur Rahman's Government awarded the killers in many ways. Majed went into hiding after the Awami League Government came to power in 1997.
