The first information report and the inquest report prepared by police over the death of Sinha Md Rashed Khan contradict each other, raising doubts about the precise sequence of events that led to the former army officer’s death.
The FIR, filed by Sub-inspector Nandadulal Raxit of Teknaf Police Station, claimed that Liaqat Ali, in-charge of Baharchhara Police Investigation Centre, fired four shots at Maj (retd) Sinha to protect himself and the lives of his fellow officers.
However, the inquest report said a total of six gunshot wounds were found in the ex-army major’s body after it was brought to Cox’s Bazar Sadar Hospital morgue.
