The DNA test taken from the grave to determine the identity of BNP leader Abul Haris Chowdhury has matched that of his family. Now, Haris Chowdhury's body can be buried in the graveyard of the family's choice.

After submitting a report in this regard, the High Court bench of Justice Fahmida Quader and Justice Mubina Asaf issued this order on Wednesday (December 4).

Barrister Mahdeen Chowdhury was in favor of the petition in the court.

Earlier, on September 5, the High Court bench, after hearing a writ petition filed by his daughter Barrister Samira Tanzin, ordered a DNA test to be conducted to determine the identity of Abul Haris Chowdhury.

In 2021, media reports said that on September 4 of that year, former Prime Minister Khaleda Zia's political secretary and former BNP leader Abul Haris Chowdhury was buried in a madrasa graveyard in the Jalalabad area of Savar, Dhaka, under the name 'Mahmudur Rahman'.

Haris Chowdhury's daughter said that the recently departed dictatorial government's intelligence department has created a drama to question his father's death. The media has reported one after another, and the fog surrounding Haris Chowdhury's death was not clearing. I have filed this writ to determine that there will never be any questions about it. As a child, it is very tragic and painful that there will be doubts about my father's death. People still ask if he is really dead! We are being harassed. So I approached the court to end this. The court did not disappoint.

Abul Haris Chowdhury was buried in the graveyard of Jamia Khatamun Nabiyyin Madrasa in Savar under the name Mahmudur Rahman.

A rule has been issued asking why a DNA test should not be ordered to be done to determine his identity, and why a death certificate should not be issued in the name of Abul Haris Chowdhury after the DNA test report comes positive, why the Interpol Red Notice in his name should not be withdrawn, and why the brave freedom fighter should not be buried in his own district with due respect as per his last wishes.

The Home Secretary, Local Government Secretary, Registrar General (Birth and Death), Director of CID, Superintendent of Police of Dhaka District and OC of Savar Model Police Station have been asked to respond to the rule.

After the declaration of emergency in the country in 2007, Haris Chowdhury's wife went to her village home in Darpnagar, Kanaighat Upazila of Sylhet. After 12 midnight, his personal assistant Atiq told him on his mobile phone that a joint force operation was underway at the residence of BNP leaders in Dhaka. A few hours later, the joint force raided Haris's house. But he had already escaped. After hiding here and there in Sylhet for a few days, he crossed the Zakiganj border into India in the dark of night on January 29 of that year. His grandparents' house was in Badarpur, Karimganj district, Assam, India. He stayed there. From there, he would travel abroad.

Khwaja Garibe Nawaz Muinuddin Hasan Chishti was a missionary, thinker, generous and compassionate humanist.

Hazrat Muinuddin Hasan was born in 536 AH, 31 years after the death of Imam Ghazali, in the city of Sanja in the province of Sijistan in Persia.

His father Khwaja Ghiyasuddin Hasan was a wealthy and influential merchant. His mother's name was Mahe Noor. He was related to Hazrat Ali (RA) on both sides through his twelfth male lineage. As a result, he was a Sayyid on both sides of his father's and mother's side. -Emdadia Library, Tazkeratul Auliya: 4/271

Khwaja Sahib's father died when he was fifteen years old and his mother also died a few days later. He inherited an orchard and a windmill; he continued to earn a living through the income.

A deep attraction towards Islam arose in his mind. He distributed all his property among the poor and left the illusion of the world and migrated to Bukhara for the purpose of acquiring knowledge and higher education.

He had infinite compassion for the poor; he always came forward to help them. That is why he was called 'Garibe Nawaz'.

Khwaja Muinuddin left home in search of knowledge and traveled to Bukhara and Samarkand. He first memorized the Holy Quran. Then he became proficient in Tafsir, Hadith, Fiqh and other scriptures.

Khwaja Muinuddin Chishti started his journey from Bukhara to Iraq to acquire spiritual knowledge and search for Murshids. On the way, he met the famous elder of the Chishtia Tariqa, Usman Haruni, at a place called Harun in Nishapur.

He became a disciple of Khwaja Usman Haruni in the Chishtia Tariqa and accepted his discipleship.

He devoted himself to his service for 20 years. Later, Usman Haruni gave him the caliphate or Sufi representation.

After leaving Usman Haruni, he reached Makkah via Damascus and Hejaz to perform Hajj, then went to Medina and visited the shrine of the Prophet (peace be upon him).

Then he traveled towards Baghdad and met many scholars, Islamic scholars and personalities on the way; among whom Nazimuddin Kobra is notable.

At that time, the Caliph of Baghdad was Al-Mustanzid Billah. According to many, Muinuddin Chishti met the great saint Shaykh Abdul Qadir Jilani (may Allah have mercy on him) and spent 57 days in his presence.

Khwaja Muinuddin Chishti resumed his journey from Baghdad and reached Lahore in Hindustan via Tabriz, Isfahan, Astarabad, Sabzawar, Mihna, Balkh and Ghazni.

After spending some time in Morakaba at the shrine of Shaykh Ali Hujbini in Lahore, he moved to Delhi.

At that time, Ajmer in India was the main center of Hindu religion and spirituality and the main center of empire and Rajput power. On 10 Muharram 561 AH, Khwaja Muinuddin Chishti reached Ajmer from Delhi along with forty dervishes.

At that time, the ruler of Ajmer was Prithviraj or Rai Pathura. Historical accounts show that Sultan Shihabuddin Muhammad Ghuri initially limited his campaign to northwestern India.

But King Prithviraj put a member of his court, who was a disciple of Khwaja Sahib, in trouble and danger. Khwaja Sahib then wrote a letter to Prithviraj seeking redress.

Prithviraj replied to the letter in insulting language, saying, ‘after this man came here, he spoke such great things that no one has ever said or heard.’

Hazrat Khwaja Muinuddin Chishti replied, ‘I captured Prithviraj alive and handed him over to Muhammad Ghuri.’

Thereafter, Muhammad Ghuri attacked Ajmer and defeated Prithviraj.

Khwaja Muinuddin Chishti’s selection of Ajmer for Dawah, Tabligh and Tazkiya was a spiritual victory. Due to his unwavering determination, high morale and courage of faith, the light of Tawhid spread in the land deprived of true religious belief.

As a result of his piety, Lillahiyat, fear of God and sincere sacrifice, the kingdom of Kufr and Shirk became the abode of Islamic knowledge and sciences and Ulama-e-Karam.

Only through the efforts and influence of Khwaja Muinuddin, mosques and pulpits began to appear where the black darkness of Shirk prevailed. Allahu Akbar began to be heard in the sky where the poisonous fumes of idolatry and Shirk were present.

As the number of Muslims in India increases until the Day of Judgment and as the boundaries of the propagation and expansion of Islam continue to expand, the reward of Shaykh-ul-Islam Khwaja Muinuddin Hasan Chishti will continue to reach his soul. -Siyarul Auliya: 47

There is no doubt that the great sages and scholars of the Chishtia Silsila have eternal claims and rights over the Indian subcontinent.

During the lifetime of Hazrat Khaja, the political center of India shifted from Ajmer to Delhi and Ajmer lost its importance.

Khwaja Muinuddin Chishti appointed Khwaja Qutbuddin Bakhtiar as his successor in Delhi.

On the other hand, his devoted servant Sultan Shamsuddin Altamash settled in the palace of Delhi and was engaged in the expansion of the empire, strengthening its foundation, and establishing justice.

And Khwaja Muinuddin Chishti spent the rest of his life in Ajmer in the work of spreading Islam, teaching and educating people, and conducting Tazkiya.

He left this world in 627 AH at the age of 90, at a moment when the saplings he had planted in the soil of India were adorned with fruits and flowers.

The chamber court has upheld the bail granted to former Superintendent of Police (SP) Babul Akhter by the High Court in the murder case of his wife Mahmuda Khanam Mitu. As a result, there is no impediment to his release, the lawyers said.

Appellate Division Chamber Justice Md. Rezaul Haque gave the order on Wednesday (December 4).

Former Superintendent of Police Babul Akhter was granted bail by the High Court last Wednesday after spending nearly three years and seven months in prison. Mitu's father Mosharraf Hossain later appealed to the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court to cancel his bail.

On August 14, SP Babul Akhter applied for bail in the court of Chattogram's Third Additional Metropolitan Sessions Judge Md. Jasim Uddin. Later, the judge rejected his bail and issued an order on August 18.

Regarding this, on the morning of June 5, 2016, Mitu, the wife of the then Chattogram Police Superintendent Babul Akhter, was shot and hacked to death while she was going to drop her son to the school bus at the GEC intersection in Chattogram city. .

SP Babul Akhter was transferred from Chattogram a few days before the incident. The murder took place in Chattogram shortly after he went to join his work in Dhaka. After the DB Police could not make any headway after investigating the incident for three and a half years, the Police Bureau of Investigation (PBI) took over the investigation of the case on the orders of the court in January 2020.

Then in May 2021, the PBI said that his wife Mitu was killed as a 'plan' of Babul Akhter. And for this, Babul 'also gave Tk. three lakh to the killers through people'.

Later, the final report was submitted in Babul's case and Mitu's father filed another case. However, after the case filed by Mitu's father did not survive the court, Babul's case was revived. Babul was arrested by the PBI in May 2021.

On September 13, 2022, the PBI submitted a charge sheet in the case to the court. Babul and seven others were named as accused in it.

Then, on October 10 of that year, the Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate's Court of Chittagong accepted the charge sheet.

On April 9 last year, the testimony in the case began with the testimony of Mitu's father, former police officer Mosharraf Hossain.

The case is currently pending in the court of Third Additional Metropolitan Sessions Judge Jasim Uddin of Chattogram.

Out of the 97 witnesses in the case, the testimony of a total of 52 people, including Mitu's mother Shaheda Mosharraf, has already been completed.

Babul Akhter had applied for bail in the Court of Third Additional Metropolitan Sessions Judge of Chattogram on August 14. When the judge rejected it, his lawyers went to the High Court.
