CHATTOGRAM, Dec 23, 2025 (BSS)- Advocate Saiful Islam Alif murder case has 
been sent to the trial court after completing all legal procedures by a 
Chattogram Court. 
 
Chattogram Metropolitan Magistrate Abu Bakkar Siddique issued this order on 
Tuesday. 

The court's Assistant Public Prosecutor Md. Raihanul Wazed Chowdhury stated 
that the Chattogram Metropolitan Magistrate Court has directed the lawyer 
Saiful Islam Alif murder case to be transferred to the Metropolitan Sessions 
Judge Court for additional legal proceedings.
 
Jamal Uddin, the father of the martyred lawyer Alif, a member of the District 
Bar Association, and the plaintiff in the case, was present in court at that 
time. Subsequently, the judicial proceedings of the case will commence in the 
Metropolitan Sessions Judge Court or any other court designated by the court.
 
Among the 39 accused listed in the charge-sheet of the Alif murder case, 17 
are currently absconding. Arrest warrants, Hulia, and Croki warrants have 
been issued against the fugitive accused. Notices have also been published in 
newspapers.
 
On November 26 in 2024, lawyer Alif was brutally beaten and hacked to death 
during a clash over the bail of Sanatani Jagran Jote spokesperson Chinmoy 
Krishna Das at the Chattogram Court Building area. 

Following the incident, his father Jamal Uddin filed a murder case with the 
city's Kotwali Police Station, naming 31 individuals as suspects.
 
On June 1, 2025, the investigation officer of the case, Assistant Police 
Commissioner Mahfuzur Rahman, who was serving in the Kotwali Zone of the 
Chattogram Metropolitan Police at the time, submitted a charge-sheet to the 
relevant branch of the Chattogram court in the Alif murder case.
 
A charge-sheet was filed in court accusing 38 people, including Chinmoy 
Krishna Das Brahmachari, the spokesperson of the Sanatani Jagran Jote. 

On August 25, the court accepted the charge-sheet against 39 people, 
including Sukanta Dutta, after the investigation officer submitted it for 
admissibility in the court of the then Chattogram Metropolitan Magistrate SM 
Alauddin Mahmud.
