Bangabandhu’s killer Majed kept at condemned cell

Abdul Majed, a sacked army captain and one of the convicted killers of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, has been kept at a condemned cell after he was taken to the jail from the court.

Mahbubul Islam, jailer of Dhaka Central Jail in Keraniganj, confirmed the matter to Jago News on Wednesday. But he didn’t disclose the number of the cell. 

Earlier on Tuesday, Law Minister Anisul Haque said formalities for carrying out the death sentence awarded to Abdul Majed have begun.

Chief Metropolitan Magistrate of Dhaka Zulfikar Hayat sent him to the jail after Counter Terrorism and Transnational Crime unit under Dhaka Metropolitan Police produced him before the court.

He was arrested from Mirpur in the capital on Monday midnight. 

Majed was one of the six remaining fugitive killers of Bangabandhu believed to be hiding abroad with no confirmed whereabouts.
