Allegation that four witnesses to BDR killings were thrown into river
Major Sabbir testified before the International Crimes Tribunal that four people, including Nazrul Islam, an eyewitness to the BDR killings, were blindfolded, shot, had their stomachs slit, tied into cement sacks, and thrown into the Baleshwar River.

He testified in an enforced disappearance case at the International Crimes Tribunal-1 around 11 am on Thursday. Major Sabbir claimed that in May 2010, members of the intelligence wing of RAB-8 carried out the incident in the presence and on the instructions of Ziaul Ahsan, then chief of RAB's intelligence wing.

Earlier, on September 2, trawler boatman Abbas Mallik testified in the same case. He alleged that Ziaul Ahsan used to shoot people brought from various places, and later their bodies were thrown into the river with cement sacks tied to their necks or legs.

Abbas Mallik also said that as a result of cutting the prisoners' stomachs and shooting them in the head, blood and body parts would spread on the trawler. Later, they would wash the trawler and return to the ice mill in Charduani.
