Former Chittagong SP Babul Akhtar killed his wife Mitu ‘due to alienation’. At that time, Mitu’s mother Shaheda Mosharraf said that Babul also bought a new weapon for an accused with 70 thousand taka.
He said this in the testimony given in the court of Chittagong’s Third Additional Metropolitan Sessions Judge Jasim Uddin on Tuesday (April 23).
Shaheda Musharraf broke down in tears several times while describing her daughter’s death. He said, Babul-Mitu’s marital relationship was not good from the beginning. After learning about Babul’s ‘alienation’ incident, Mitu told her mother and sister. Babul then tortured Mitu physically and mentally. Fed up with that, Mitu tried to commit suicide three or four times. Babul Akhtar planned to kill Mitu while staying abroad.
After the testimony, the cross-examination continued until 5:30 pm with a break at noon. The day’s proceedings ended with the interrogation of Shaheda Musharraf unfinished. On Wednesday (April 24) he will be cross-examined again by the defense lawyers.
On the morning of June 5, 2016, Mitu was publicly shot and hacked to death while going to drop her son in the school bus at GEC intersection in Chittagong city. Mitu’s husband SP Babul, dismissed from police service, was transferred from Chittagong a few days before the incident. The murder took place in Chittagong soon after he left to join his workplace in Dhaka. In the beginning, the finger was pointed at the militants, but later the drama came to the story. After three and a half years of investigation, the DB Police could not find any clues, and in January 2020, the PBI got the charge of investigating the case on the orders of the court. At one stage, Babul turned from the plaintiff to the defendant in the case. He also lost his job.
