Mamata exposes new information on high-profile murder in Bangladesh

Former West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee made a startling claim on Tuesday, suggesting that she is aware of who was behind a high-profile murder in Bangladesh.

Speaking at a protest rally in Kolkata’s Dharmatala area on Tuesday, Banerjee praised the Special Task Force (STF) of the West Bengal Police for arresting a major suspect linked to a murder case in Bangladesh.

“Please remember that the STF arrested a major killer from Bangladesh. There was a huge uproar over the incident in Bangladesh,” Banerjee said, adding, “I am not speaking about another country, as I do not have that right, but my main point is that they entered West Bengal through Meghalaya. Our STF then arrested them.”

Her remarks appeared to refer to the arrests made by the West Bengal STF in March this year in connection with the killing of Osman Hadi in Bangladesh. The two main suspects arrested were identified as Faisal Karim Masud, also known as Rahul, and Alamgir Hossain.

According to West Bengal Police, the suspects had crossed into West Bengal through Meghalaya. Later, the STF arrested another accused, Philip Sangma, near Shantipur in Nadia district.

Earlier, the Detective Branch of Dhaka Metropolitan Police had identified Faisal as the principal suspect in the Osman Hadi murder case.

However, Banerjee did not explicitly confirm whether she was referring to this particular case.

The former chief minister further claimed that after the arrests, India’s home minister personally contacted her and requested that details of the operation not be disclosed publicly.

“Then the home minister himself called me and said, ‘Please tell the Bengal Police not to let this information become public. It is in the national interest,’” she said.

Raising further questions, Banerjee remarked, “Who had the murder carried out? Whose names had emerged? Even if the government changes today, I still know everything. My heart is a repository of words, information, and truth.”

Her comments have sparked fresh speculation about the identities of those allegedly connected to the Bangladesh murder case, though she stopped short of naming any individuals or providing specific details.
