Metropolitan Magistrate Amit Kumar Dey recorded the testimonies of Mahbubul Haque and Chunnu Mia in his court on Thursday.
On Feb 9, the High Court had given six months’ bail to Fahima Islam Lopa, another accused.
Lopa is the wife of Milki’s close associate Maruf Reza Sagor, who was with him at the time of his killing. RAB arrested her from Dhanmondi in Aug 3, 2013.
Juba League’s Dhaka Metropolitan (south) unit organising secretary Milki died after being shot several times in the head in front of Gulshan’s Shopper World on July 3 last year. A closed-circuit camera in the shopping mall picked up the entire incident.
RAB had arrested the same Juba League unit’s leader Jahid Siddiqui Tarek with injuries from a hospital after Milki was killed.
He was also identified as the shooter from the CCTV footage.
Tarek later died in an alleged encounter between his supporters and RAB in Khilkhet, while he was being taken to Gulshan Police Station from Uttara.
Riazul Haque Khan Milki’s brother Major Rashidul Haque Khan had filed the case with the Gulshan police naming 11, including Tarek, for the murder.
