Death of Natun Sinha, Chittaranjan Biswas
still mourned

Dhaka, July 18 ( Total News Bangladesh):

Pulack Ghatack : The killing of Principal Natun Chandra Sinha was another instance of brutality of Salahuddin Quader Chowdhury. The National People's Investigation Commission disclosed the fact, as the witness narrated it.

On April 13 Principal Natun Chandra Sinha was killed. Setting up a machine gun on the roof Gohira High School the military started firing all around from the morning. Many of the bullets hit the Kundeswari Building.

Earlier, the venerable principal, pre-empting such a situation, had moved away the occupants of the building. But he himself stayed back holding on to the Kundeswari Building.

Expecting the military to pay a visit he had laid out chairs and tables in the courtyard to greet them. The military did come in two jeeps. In one of the jeeps was riding Salahuddin Quader Chowdhury, son of Fazlul Quader Chowdhury.

Behind them were stationed four tanks on the Kundeswari Road, set ready for attack. The principal greeted and entertained the military personnel. He explained to them the welfare work undertaken by his organisation and informed them of his intention to continue with it.

Being satisfied the military left. However, Salahuddin brought them back again, because his father had instructed him not to leave this infidel alive.

On that day the bravery was not of the people with arms in hand. It was the courage of the unarmed seventy-year-old man that made it memorable. He stood still, ready to embrace martyrdom. They fired thrice at him.

One bullet hit him just below one of his eyes. One hit his hand and the third went into his chest. Crying out for his mother he fell to the ground. For him it were not the Hindus only who lamented but many Muslims also cried.

The hearing of the case of Nutan Chandra Sinha’s murder was held in 1972. There were 12 witnesses including Nutan Chandra Sinha’s son Sattya Ranjan Sinha.

The FIR number of the case is U/S302/120(13)/298 under Bangladesh Penal Code. The hearing began on 29TH January, 1972. Salahuddin Quader Chowdhury and five other defendants were absconding.

On the other hand, rest of the defendants including his father Fazlul Quader Chowdhury was in jail custody. In the charge sheet of the case it was mentioned that the complaints against Salahuddin Quader Chowdhury and other defendants were proven true.

Thirteenth April will be remembered for yet another sad death. A band of rogues led by Salahuddin entered the house of Chittaranjan Biswas a respected resident of Gohira at half past ten in the morning.

They picked up Biswas’s son Doyal Hori Biswas, a student leader, and brutally killed him.
