Ex-army chief Gen Mustafiz arrested
Police yesterday arrested retired army chief Gen Mustafizur Rahman, an accused in the MiG-29 purchase scam case, at a city hospital where he has been undergoing treatment. He, however, is still being treated at the Apollo Hospitals at Bashundhara in the city under police custody. "We have executed an arrest warrant issued against him by a court recently," Dhaka Metropolitan Police Commissioner Naim Ahmed told The Daily Star. Shahnaz, daughter of Mustafizur, told The Daily Star last night that a team of police has been deployed outside her father's hospital room since yesterday noon. He was admitted to the hospital on May 20 with chest pains. A special court set up on the Jatiya Sangsad Bhaban premises issued the warrant on May 20 as Mustafizur Rahman failed to appear before the court on different dates. Detained former premier Sheikh Hasina and six others including the former army chief are accused in the case. Posted by: Fred 2008-05-26 |
