Shawdesh Desk:

Sheikh Russel Krira Chakra Limited has strongly condemned the repeated attempts to assassinate Bashundhara Group Managing Director and Chairman of the sports club Sayem Sobhan Anvir and demanded immediate arrest of the conspirators.

The club leaders made the demand at a press conference at the Dhaka City Football Committee office at Bangabandhu National Stadium in the capital on Tuesday.

They also sought neutral investigation into the incident to mete out exemplary punishment to the perpetrators.

Mentioning that they will meet the Home Minister as soon as possible, the club leaders said they will go wherever they need to go to realise their demand.

Director-in-charge of Sheikh Russel Krira Chakra Limited Ismat Jamil Akhond Lablu read out a written statement at the press conference.

Sheikh Russel KC vice-chairman Imdadul Haq Milan, director (Sports) Saleh Jaman Selim, director (Finance) Fakhruddin Ahmed, directors Md Rafiqul Alam, Abul Kashem, SM Hasan Zaman, Habibur Rahman Khan, Alimuzzaman Alam, Khalilur Rahman, Mir Mohammad Shahab Uddin Tipu, Hamidul Haque Shamim, Abu Bakar, Belayet Hossain Bepari, Asaduzzaman, SM Jahangir and Al Maruf Enayet were present at the event.

Foiling an attempt to kill the Bashundhara Group Managing Director, police on Friday arrested a young man, Saiful Islam Saad, who initially confessed that he tried to kill the country’s business tycoon at the order of Whip Shamsul Haque Chowdhury and his son Nazmul Karim Chowdhury Sharun.

Immediately after the arrest, the youth also confessed to police that he was given a good amount of money to accomplish the mission to kill the Bashundhara Group MD.

A Dhaka court on Sunday placed him on a three-day remand to find out the masterminds.
