Former army soldier Abdul Alim, who was sentenced to death in the sensational Narayanganj seven-murder case last month, has surrendered before a court.

District and Sessions Judge Syed Enayet Hossain sent him to jail after he surrendered at 11:30am Sunday.

Additional public prosecutor Riazur Rahman confirmed it to the Dhaka Tribune.

Among the death row convicts, nine were at large. Later, Magura police detained one of them- sergeant Enamul Kabir- on February 5.

On January 16, a Narayanganj court sentenced local Awami League leader and city councillor Nur Hossain, sacked commanding officer of RAB 11 Tareque Sayeed Mohammad, sacked Maj Arif and 23 others to death for the politically-motivated killings of seven people in 2014.

On February 8, the High Court accepted appeals filed by 16 death-row convicts against their sentences.

The appellants are Nur Hossain, Tareque Sayeed Mohammad, sacked Lt Commander Masud Rana, sacked Maj Arif Hossain, sacked havilder Emdadul Haque, sacked Hiru Mia, sacked lance nayek Belal Hossain, sacked sepoy Abu Taiyeb, sacked constable Shihab Uddin, sacked ASI Purnendu Bala, sacked sepoy Asaduzzaman Nur, and Nur Hossain’s aides — Mortuja Jaman Charchil, Ali Mohammad, Mizanur Rahman Dipu, Abul Bashar and Rohom Ali.
