Investigation officer, Sylhet's ASP Meherun Nesa Parul, submitted a supplementary chargesheet to the court on Sunday.
Habiganj's Senior Judicial Magistrate Rashid Ahmed Miron accepted it and ordered arrest of the eleven, including Sylhet mayor Ariful Haq Chowdhury and Habiganj mayor GK Gaus, whose names were added in the supplementary chargesheet.
Harris Chowdhury is already an accused in the Aug 21, 2004 grenade attack and Zia Charitable Trust and Zia Orphanage Trust graft cases. He is on the run as the cases are in progress.
Central BNP leader Ariful Haq is also a member of the party’s Sylhet metropolitan unit convenor committee. He was elected mayor last year.
Gaus is the general secretary of the BNP’s Habiganj district unit. He is serving as Habiganj mayor for a second consecutive term.
Shah AMS Kibria was fatally wounded in a grenade attack on Jan 27, 2005 while returning from a rally in Habiganj Sadar. He died on way to Dhaka.
His nephew Shah Monjurul Huda, Awami League leaders Abdur Rahim, Abul Hossain and Siddique Ali were also killed and over 100 party activists injured in the attack.
Then general secretary of Habiganj Awami League unit, Abdul Majid Khan filed two cases over the attacks – one for the killings and the other under the Explosives Act -- the same night.
The investigation officer Munshi Atiqur Rahman , ASP of CID , pressed charges against 10 people on Mar 20 the same year.
On May 3 the following year, the plaintiff objected to the chargesheet at Sylhet Speedy Trial Tribunal but the court rejected his plea.
He on May 14 moved the High Court, which issued a rule asking why further investigations would not be done.
