Twelve years have passed since the widely discussed Narayanganj seven-murder case, yet the court verdict has not been executed. The case remains pending due to prolonged judicial procedures, appeals, and legal complexities, leaving victims’ families in frustration and uncertainty. The 2014 killings involved the abduction and murder of panel mayor Nazrul Islam, senior lawyer Chandan Kumar Sarkar, and five others, whose bodies were later recovered from the Shitalakkhya River.
Following extensive investigations, charges were filed in 2015 against 35 accused. In 2017, the Narayanganj District and Sessions Judge’s Court sentenced 26 people, including former RAB-11 officers and Nur Hossain, to death, while nine others received varying prison terms. The High Court later upheld 15 death sentences, and the case is now at the Appellate Division’s leave-to-appeal stage. Prosecutors and lawyers expressed hope for a swift conclusion, while victims’ families continue to demand execution of the verdict.
The case remains one of Bangladesh’s most notable criminal proceedings, symbolizing both public demand for justice and the challenges of lengthy legal resolution.
