The municipality mayor from Faridpur’s Nagarkanda was indicted on 11 charges of murder, genocide, arson, rape, loot and forcible religious conversion in October last year. He has been absconding ever since the war crimes investigators started their probe. The International Crimes Tribunal-1 headed by Justice M Enayetur Rahim concluded his trial on April 17 this year. According to the tribunal investigators, Khokon Razakar had campaigned for Jamaat-e-Islami in the 1970 national elections. After independence, he joined the BNP and became the vice-president of its Nagarkanda unit. He was elected mayor to the Nagarkanda Municipality in 2011.
