According to the case statement, Sinha’s sister Sharmin Shahria Firdaus accused nine people including Teknaf police station’s Officer-in-Charge Pradip, Baharchhara Check-post In-Charge Liakat, Sub-inspector Nanda Dulal Rakkhit, and Tutul, ASI Liton Miah, Constable Safanur Karim, Kamal Hossain, Md Abdullah Al Mamun, and Md Mostafa. According to the case statement, Baharchhara Check-post In-Charge Liakat and SI Nanda Dulal Rakkhit challenged retired major Sinha and his associate--who were visiting the area to shoot a documentary-- on July 31. Sinha and his associate, Sifat, a videographer, were dragged off their vehicle despite providing their respective identities. After the murder, the police officers also filed two fake cases against the deceased to frame them as drug dealers, said Sharmin Shahria Firdaus, Sinha’s sister. “Not only did they kill my brother, but they have also mutilated the dead bodies so that they remain unrecognisable,” added the plaintiff of the case.
