News No. 133/2010, September 03, 2010
THE court has ordered a re-investigation of the abduction of Kalpana Chakma, a leader of Hill Women’s Federation.
Kalpana Chakma was kidnapped from her home in New Lallyaghona Village under Baghaichari Upazila of Rangamati district on 12 June in 1996.
The Chief Judicial Magistrate of Rangamati District, Md. Shariful Islam issued the order yesterday, Thursday, after Kalpana Chakma’s brother Kalindi Kumar Chakma had rejected the final police report filed with the court a few days ago.
Advocate Jewel Chakma, who was conducting the case on behalf on the complainant, told Suprobhat Bangladesh, a Bengali daily published from Chittagong: “As the final report on the abduction of Kalpana Chakma was not accurate and as the investigation was not carried out in an appropriate manner, we made an appeal for a re-investigation. The court has taken cognizance of our appeal and ordered the CID to re-investigate the case.”
The Hill Women’s Federation has welcomed the decision of the court and urged the government to make sure that Kalpana Chakma’s abductors – Lt. Ferdous and his accomplices – face justice.
