The trial of 39 accused, including expelled ISKCON leader and Sanatani Jagaran Jote spokesperson Chinmoy Krishna Das alias Chandan Dhar, has begun in the murder case of advocate Saiful Islam Alif in Chattogram court premises. On Monday morning, Judge Md Zahidul Haque of the Chattogram Speedy Trial Tribunal framed charges after reviewing the case documents, charge sheet, CCTV footage, witness statements, seized evidence, autopsy, and forensic reports. Tight security was maintained around the court as 23 arrested accused, including Chinmoy, were produced before the tribunal, while 16 others remain absconding.
During the hearing, Chinmoy claimed innocence, stating he was arrested a day before the murder and has been in custody since. The prosecution, represented by Assistant Public Prosecutor Md Raihanul Wazed Chowdhury, alleged that on the day of the incident, Chinmoy’s followers seized control of the prison van carrying him and incited violence through speeches, leading to the fatal attack on Alif.
The next hearing date has been set for February 2, with legal aid lawyers to be appointed for the detained accused. The case marks the formal start of proceedings in one of Chattogram’s most sensational murder incidents.
