Govt probing audio clips: Home boss

Staff Correspondent: Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal on Sunday said his ministry has received the audio record of the last mobile phone conversations between slain Teknaf ward councillor Ekramul Haque and his family members.

The government has already launched an investigation into the audio clips which are thought to be linked to the Akramul Haque murder.

The minister came up with the information while talking to reporters at an anti-drug awareness programme at Stamford University’s Siddeswari campus in the capital.

‘A team led by a magistrate is investigating the audio tape,’ said the minister.

The list of drug traders is very long and the intelligence units of law enforcement agencies are updating it regularly, Asaduzzaman said adding, ‘The drive will continue until all the listed drug traders are arrested.’

Local Awami League leader and Teknaf ward councillor Ekramul Haque was killed in a reported gunfight with members of Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) in Cox’s Bazar on the night of May 26.
