TDS Desk:

Chief Prosecutor Aminul Islam has said that Tarique Rahman, now the Prime Minister of Bangladesh, was put at the Directorate General of Forces Intelligence (DGFI)’s secret detention facility, commonly known as Aynaghar, during the 1/11 period.

Aminul Islam said that sufficient evidence has been found to substantiate the incident.

The Chief Prosecutor made the remarks on Saturday (8 August) after inspecting the DGFI’s secret detention facility.

He said people were picked up and kept inhumanely in Joint Interrogation Cell (JIC) facilities, adding that much of the evidence and information related to those cells had been destroyed.

“Anyone who commits a crime must be brought to justice, but no one can be detained extra-judicially,” the Chief Prosecutor said.

He added that trials are already underway in connection with many of these incidents and that anyone found to have been involved in the future would also be brought under the law.
