Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) is examining the audio tape given by the family members of municipality councillor Ekramul Haque, killed in a ‘gunfight’ at Teknaf in an anti-drug raid’.
RAB’s legal and media wing director Mufti Mahmud Khan disclosed the information on Friday.
Ekram was killed in a ‘gunfight’ between RAB members and drug dealers in Teknaf around 1:00am on May 27.
RAB claimed that he was a top drug dealer.
At a press conference in Cox's Bazar on Thursday morning, Ekram’s wife Ayesha Begum claimed that her husband was killed in cold blood, not in a gunfight as claimed by security forces.
She said, “I want fair investigation into the killing of my husband. I want justice from the Prime Minister.”
She gave reporters an audio clip, claiming that the conversation was recorded during the killing of Ekram.
In her written speech at the press briefing, Ayesha said, “On May 26 night, one major from an intelligence agency took him by force. My daughter and I talked to him over the mobile phone after he left the home. When we talked to him last time, he was panicking. The call continued; gunshots and shouting law enforcers were being heard. It's then when I realised my husband was killed in cold blood.
