War Crimes Trial
Witness alleges state abduction
A witness at the international crimes tribunal in Dhaka who defence lawyers claim to have been abducted from outside the court in November 2012 by law enforcement agents has been found in a Kolkata jail.
Sukhranjan Bali, a Hindu man from the southern district of Pirojpur, has confirmed that on the morning of November 5, 2012 he was taken from outside the tribunal gates by Bangladeshi law enforcement officials as he was on his way hoping to give deposition on behalf of Jamaat-e-Islami leader Delwar Hossain Sayedee.
In a statement given whilst in detention in India, Bali says that he was "abducted from the court premises in a police van and was taken to an office in Dhaka" which he later thought belonged to the Detective Branch of the police because of words on a paper stamp which he saw on the desk.
