7. Systematic and Targeted Killings by Jamaat-Shibir and their Allies
On 06 March 2013, a young student named Tanvir Ahmed Twaki was reported missing and his
dead body was found in a canal leading to the Shitalakshya river in Narayanganj near Dhaka on 08
March 2013. Twaki was the son of Mr. Rafiur Rabbi, one of the lead organisers of the Mass
Uprising Movement against the War Criminals in Narayanganj. As the police is working at
unearthing the motives behind the murder, it is most likely that Twaki was a victim of the Jamaat-
Shibir’s targeted attack against the organisers of the Shahbagh inspired mass movement across the
country. Twaki’s murder has created mass outrage in Narayanganj area.
On 07 March 2013, a Youth League activist named Abdur Rahman was seriously injured in
Golladanga Bazar in Bholarhaat in Chapai Nawabganj during an attack by the Jammat-BNP cadres
in the wake of a confrontation over keeping the shops open during hartal hours. Mr. Rahman later
succumbed to his injuries in hospital.
On 09 March 2013, police recovered the dead body of one Ahmed Miraj, a businessman, beside
the rail line under the under-construction Kuril Flyover in Dhaka. It appeared that the deceased was
stifled to death. The deceased’s family members suspect the involvement of the Jamaat-Shibir in
the killing due to his elder brother Mr. Ahmed Imtiaz Bulbul, a noted musician and composer,
being the No. 1 Prosecution witness in the ICT case against Mr. Ghulam Azam, a prominent Jamaat
leader, on charges of crimes against humanity and genocide.
On 09 March 2013, a police constable named Mofizul Islam was fired to death as he was taking
part in a drive to arrest Jamaat-Shibir leaders and activists involved in violent activities in Baira
upazila in Khulna.
It is evident that the Jamaat-Shibir has resorted to systematic and targeted killing of members of the
organisers and supporters of the Shahbagh inspired movement as well as members of the police and
ruling party activists. In the immediate aftermath of the Shahbagh uprising, they had killed a
blogger and one of the lead organisers of the movement Ahmed Rajib Haider near his home in
Mirpur, Dhaka while he was returning from Shahbagh on 15 February 2013. The five students
arrested in connection with the murder admitted to the police that they had carried out the pre-planned
and targeted killing at the instruction of a former student leader of the Islami Chhatra
Shibir.
