Chandan Das, the prime accused in the lawyer Saiful Islam Alif murder case, has confessed to his direct involvement in the crime before a Chattogram court.

He gave the statement to Metropolitan Magistrate Kazi Shariful Islam at his chamber on Monday evening (9 December), Abdul Karim, officer-in-charge (OC) of Kotwali Police Station, told The Business Standard. 

The confession revealed that Chandan, Ripon Das, Om Das and Ranab attacked Saiful with sharp weapons and inflicted fatal injuries. Other attackers beat Saiful with blunt weapons. Chandan also claimed he did not know some of the attackers.

Chandhan, arrested in Bhairab on 4 December, was remanded for seven days. After confession, he was sent to jail, said the police.

On 26 November, former Iskcon leader Chinmoy Krishna Das Brahmachari was being transported to prison in a van after being denied bail.

His followers blocked the vehicle and staged a three-hour protest. Police used batons and sound grenades to break up the protesters, leading to clashes between law enforcers and protesters. In the aftermath, lawyer Saiful was brutally attacked and killed in an alley opposite to the Chattogram court premises.

Footage of the incident shows Chandan wearing a grey helmet, an orange shirt, and black pants, wielding a machete. Ripon Das, another accused, was wearing a blue shirt, jeans, and a red helmet and wielding a weapon.  Police reported that Ripon worked at a pharmacy in Chawkbazar.

On 30 November, Saiful's father filed a murder case naming 31 individuals, while his brother Khan-e Alam filed another case under the Explosives Act against 116 people for vandalism and assault.
