Father of a man killed in a "shootout" with police last month filed a murder case on Sunday against 11 persons including the officer-in-charge of Shah Ali Police Station in the city.
Metropolitan Magistrate Mohammad Moniruzzaman, after a brief hearing, ordered a judicial inquiry in the incident. The magistrate earlier recorded the statement of the complainant, Md Dadon Miah, took into cognizance the charges against the accused.
The accused are OC Anisur Rahman, Sub-Inspector Md Zahid, assistant sub-inspectors – Moshiur Rahman and Mozammel Hossain, and Jhut (garment by-products) traders – Nantu, Ayub Ali, Kuddus, Sentu, Bulu alias Ripon, Shamim and Sakir.
Police had earlier claimed that the 26-year-old Md Masud was killed in a "shootout" with the law enforcers on March 25.
| I think we missed that one... |
In his complaint, Dadon Miah alleged that Jhut traders –Nantu and six others – had a feud with his two sons – Masud and Asad for a long time over jhut business. As a result, the seven goons paid Tk 5 lakh to the OC to kill his son, adding that his son was a helper of ETC Paribahan Ltd, not an extortionist, he said.
| Oh no, his boy was an honest jhut trader... |
The complainant said on the night of the incident police called out of his son from their residence and took him to a place in the cityÂ’s Mirpur Zoo area.
| Could have been worse, he could have been shot in a banana grove... |
Later police killed Masud and then made a drama of ''shootout'' saying he was killed during an exchange of bullets between the law enforcers and assailants, Dadon Miah alleged.
| That's about how it's done, folks. Will the courts in B-desh catch on or do they enjoy the decreased workload courtesy of the RAB? |
