Biswajit murder Fugitive convict held in capital after 10 years

Staff Reporter :
The elite force Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) arrested a fugitive convict, who was sentenced to life term imprisonment in a case filed over the murder of Biswajit Das 10 years ago.
The convict has been identified as Nure Alam alias Limon, 35, inhabitant of Rangpur. He was detained from Dhaka’s Mohammadpur area on Sunday night, said Fazlul Haque, senior assistant director (media) of Rab-2.
Limon has been absconding since Biswajit was hacked to death in broad daylight by Bangladesh Chhatra League (BCL) activists on December 9, 2012.
The victim was on way to his tailoring shop at Shakharibazar in Old Dhaka during a countrywide road-blockade
programme by BNP.
In 2013, Dhaka Speedy Trial Tribunal-4 sentenced eight accused to death and 13 to life imprisonment in the murder case. The convicts later challenged the verdict.
On August 6, 2017, the High Court upheld the death penalty of two, out of the eight death-row convicts, commuted the death sentence of four to life imprisonment and acquitted two others.
