A Narayanganj court has rejected the bail plea of Sultan Shawkat alias Bhromor, one of the accused in the Twaki murder case, and sent him to jail.

Senior Judicial Magistrate Kawsar Alam gave the order on Wednesday, Narayanganj court police Inspector Md Asaduzzaman confirmed.

He said Bhromor had an arrest warrant issued against him.

On Wednesday morning, Bhromor appeared before the court and surrendered voluntarily. The court then rejected his bail plea and sent him to jail.

According to the court sources, Bhromor was on bail till 2015. He reportedly left the country on bail.

Bhromor is the son of late Haji Md Sohrab Miah, one of the industrialists in Narayanganj, and Meher Nigar Mita, member of the parliament and Narayanganj District Jatiya Party president.

Seventeen-year-old Twaki went missing from in front of his house in Narayanganj on March 6, 2013. His father Rafiur Rabbi filed a general diary with Sadar police station on the same day and sent a letter to Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) 11 as well.

Twaki’s dead body was found on the bank of the Shitalakkhya River two days later. His father filed a case against unnamed accused who were angry with him for his social and cultural activities.

On March 18, Rafiur Rabbi wrote a letter to the then superintendent of police in Narayanganj and accused Narayanganj 4 MP Shamim Osman, his son Ayon Osman, Azmeri Osman, son of former Narayanganj 5 MP late Nasim Osman, and others of being involved in the murder. The case was then handed over to RAB.

Later, RAB arrested Bhromor in connection with the murder. Bhromor gave confessional statement before court, revealing the identities of 11 people involved in the murder.

In his confessional statement, Sultan said Twaki was murdered at the office of Azmeri Osman.
