The court’s public prosecutor, Abdur Rasheed, told Prothom Alo that the court has completed recording Musharraf Hussain’s testimony, and he is now being cross-examined by defense lawyers.
According to court sources, Musharraf said that Babul increased his torture on Mahmuda after Mahmuda discovered his illicit relationship with another woman. Babylon had planned to kill Mahmuda and used his informer Musa.
Babul had given Musa Rs 70,000 to buy weapons and had asked him to kill Mahmuda, his father claimed.
Babul Akhtar’s lawyer Ghulam Mawla said that Musharraf had fabricated several stories to implicate Babul in the case. His allegations are being disproved through cross-examination.
