Murder accused get HC bail, but cops couldn't 'find them'

The High Court has granted bail to two suspects in a case over the chasing down and shooting of two people in a car in Chattogram.

The suspects who received bail are Mobarak Hossain Emon and Borhanuddin. Mobarak stands accused in a total of seven cases while Borhanuddin has eight cases against him. The cases include murder charges.

Police had been searching for the two accused in the murder case. Amid this search, the two obtained bail from the High Court. Police claim that despite making "all possible efforts," they were unable to arrest them.

In Chattogram's criminal underworld, Mobarak and Borhanuddin are known as associates of Sajjad Hossain, aka "Chhoto Sajjad". "Chhoto Sajjad," currently in jail, is a follower of Sajjad Ali Khan, alias "Boro Sajjad," who is reportedly absconding abroad.

On Mar 30 last year, a car was chased down in the Chandanpura area of the port city's Chawkbazar area. Gunmen then opened fire on the car, killing two individuals named Bakhtiar Hossain Manik and Md Abdullah. �"bdnews24
