A Dhaka court on December 18 sentenced eight activists of Bangladesh Chhatra League (BCL), the student wing of Awami Laegue (AL) to death and 13 others to life imprisonment for killing tailor Bishwajit Das (24) in Old Dhaka a year ago, reports The Daily Star. Sentencing the activists of BCL, the judge observed that the Bishwajit murder case was quite sensitive and different from other lawsuits. The crime was committed in broad daylight, not in the dead of night. It was a heinous and deplorable killing, said the court about the incident that happened during the opposition’s blockade on December 9 last year. Of the eight condemned killers, two are absconding, while 11 of the 13 convicts, who got life term, are also on the run. The BCL men who got death penalty are: Rafiqul Islam Shakil, Mahfuzur Rahman Nahid, Emdadul Haque Emdad, GM Rasheduzzaman Shaon, Md Saiful Islam, Qayum Mia Tipu, Rajon Talukdar and Noor-e-Alam Limon. Of them, Rajon and Limon are on the run. The ones given life imprisonment are: AHM Kibria, Saiful Islam Saiful, Golam Mustafa, Alauddin, Obaidul Quader Tahsin, Imran Hossain, Khandaker Md Yunus Ali, Tarique Bin Zohur, Azizur Rahman, Al Amin Sheikh, Monirul Haque Pavel, Mosharraf Hossain and Kamrul Hasan. Of them, only Kibria and Mustafa are behind bars while the others have been absconding. The incident took place on December 9, 2012, when Bishwajit was going to his Amantron tailoring shop at Shankharibazar from his house at Hrishikesh Das Lane in Dhaka city. As he was walking through the road in front of Bahadur Shah Park, a crude bomb went off nearby during the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP)-led opposition’s blockade. Immediately, a group of activists of Jagannath University BCL unit swung into action. They mistook Bishwajit for a blockader and chased him. Bishwajit ran for his life and hurried to the second floor of a nearby building. The BCL men hunted him down as he tried to take shelter in a dental clinic on that floor. They dragged him down to the street. For about five minutes, the BCL men hacked him with sharp weapons and beat him with iron rods and hockey sticks. Bishwajit made a desperate attempt to escape and finally managed to free himself from the attackers. As he crossed the road, he collapsed. Some pedestrians then took him to the Mitford Hospital where he died.
