Brigadier General Miftah Uddin Ahmed has been taken into army custody in connection with the killing of Ekramul Haque in Cox’s Bazar. Directorate of Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) has confirmed this information.
During the 2018 incident, he was a lieutenant. He was the captain of RAB-7 in the rank of colonel. Further action is being taken against him as per law, ISPR said.
The prosecution filed a formal complaint at the International Criminal Tribunal on Sunday in the case of crimes against humanity in the murder of Teknaf’s former municipal councilor Ekramul Haque.
In that case, 11 people, including Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, who was deposed in the mass uprising, were accused. Miftah Uddin Ahmed, who was the captain of RAB-7 in Chittagong at that time, is on the list of accused. Then Cox’s Bazar was also under RAB-7.
The Army took Brigadier General Miftah Uddin into custody a day after filing a formal complaint in the tribunal in the Ekramul murder case.
Ekramul was killed in a ‘gunfight’ in Teknaf, Cox’s Bazar on the night of May 26, 2018. He was the president of Upazila Jubo League (currently banned) for 12 years.
