ICT staff gives confessional statement


Yet another arrestee in Salauddin Quader Chowdhury’s draft verdict leak case gave his confessional statement before a magistrate on Sunday, without providing any new insight into the matter.
Faruk Hossain, an office assistant of the International Crimes Tribunal’s registrar office, admitted to metropolitan magistrate Harun-ur-Rashid that he introduced defence lawyer Fakhrul lslam’s assistant Mehedi Hasan to Nayon Ali, the alleged supplier of the draft verdict.
Faruk was taken to the court around 11:00am and the magistrate started recording his one-hour confession around 5:30 pm, said court sources.
Faruk said he became acquainted with Mehedi when SQ Chowdhury’s case was in Tribunal-1, as Mehedi often used to come to him for taking certified copies of court orders.
When the case was shifted to Tribunal -2, Faruk introduced Mehedi to Nayon around mid-September, as Mehedi needed some order sheets.
He told Mehedi to give Nayon a pen drive which he can use to copy the order sheets.
However, it was not clear in his confession, what motivated him to help Mehedi gain access to order sheets in an unauthorised way.
