India hands over Bangabandhu killer Moslehuddin to Bangladesh
|
[The Daily Star] India has handed over Risaldar Moslehuddin, a key conspirator convicted for assassinating Bangladesh's founding father Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman
| ... Sheikh Mujibur Rahman — Bangabandhu means friend of Bangladesh — was the leader of the Bangladeshi political party Awami League, whose credo was "nationalism, secularism, democracy, and socialism" until he gave up all but the socialism in the usual way, and was assassinated in the usual way in 1975 by a group of junior military officers at the behest of a group of senior Bangladeshi military officers and a cabal within the Awami League. His daughter Sheikh Hasina now runs both country and Awami League... |
and most of his family members, to Bangladesh, Indian officials said last night.
An official confirmation of the apprehension of Moslehuddin and his handing over to Bangladesh was available only late last night, reports our New Delhi correspondent.
Moslehuddin, who had fired at Bangabandhu at his Dhanmondi road 32 residence on August 15 in 1975, was handed over to Bangladeshi authorities on Monday night, Indian officials said.
Earlier, Indian security agencies had handed over Abdul Majed, another conspirator in the assassination, some days ago from an undisclosed location along the border. Majed's death sentence was later executed in Dhaka.
Both Moslehuddin and Abdul Majed were stated to be hiding in India's West Bengal for more than two decades.
Moslehuddin was apprehended in a highly sensitive covert operation by Indian security agencies in Bongaon, some 30 kilometres away from Petrapole border with Bangladesh.
He was reportedly running a medicine shop in Bongaon.
Earlier, Majed had given the location of Moslehuddin to the Indian security officials after he was apprehended, sources said.
