A Cox’s Bazar court has sentenced four people to death and nine others to life imprisonment for the 2024 murder of army officer Lieutenant Tanzim Sarwar Nirjon in Chakaria. The verdict was delivered on Wednesday by Mohammad Abul Monsur Siddique, Additional District and Sessions Judge (Fifth Court) of Cox’s Bazar. In a separate arms case linked to the same incident, 13 defendants were each sentenced to 17 years in prison. Five others were acquitted for lack of involvement.
According to the case details, Lieutenant Tanzim was fatally stabbed by an armed robbery gang on September 23, 2024, during a joint operation in Dulahazara union to prevent a robbery. Following the incident, two separate cases were filed—one for murder and robbery preparation, and another under the Arms Act. The charge sheet was submitted on January 19, 2025. Among the four sentenced to death, one convict, Morshed Alam, remains absconding.
Prosecution lawyers said the verdict followed extensive hearings and evidence review. The plaintiff’s counsel noted that the ruling marked a significant step toward justice.
