CID has been given for investigation of 15
cases. The motive, speed-nature of each case is different. Primary work of
those cases are such as interrogation of witnesses and accused, collection of
evidence and gathering of evidence. Some of the narcotics related cases
required forensic and chemical testing, he said.
We have already given some seized alamat
(Evidences) of some cases for forensic and chemical testrings. Besides,
interrogation process of the accused and the witnesses is at last stage. After getting the forensic report,
we will be able to start submitting the investigation reports of those 15 cases
to the court one after another. We hope to start submitting police reports in
the next one to one and a half months, the CID chief said.
When asked what kind of information did the CID
get about recovery of drugs and keeping drugs in the houses of the accused Pori
Moni, Model Piyasa and others, Additional IGP Mahbubur Rahman said that
evidence (drugs) of narcotics cases were recovered from thier possessions. Chemical and forensic
tests are being done to find out if those are narcotics at all.
When asked about the source of the seized drugs,
the CID chief said arrested accused have given different information. Some say
it was brought from abroad, some say it was bought from the airport, some say
it was collected in various ways. But no matter from where they are collected
those drugs from, it is illegal to collect or stockpile these drugs in an
unauthorized manner, he said.
Replying to a question on were there any
similarities or differences between the information recorded under section 161
and under section 164 of CrPc, he said,
" We have been trying to find out a match with the information given
under section 161 and under Section
164." We did a separate part that
did not match. If necessary, we will re-investigate. However, there was a lot
of similarity of information, he added.
