The government yesterday issued a one-month detention order against detained former BNP lawmaker Mosaddek Ali Falu just before his release from prison on bail.He recently secured bail from the High Court in all graft cases filed against him. However, the Supreme Court stayed the bail order until Monday. Police sources said the home ministry issued the detention order following a general diary filed by a Special Superintendent of the Special Branch (SB) of police.
Deputy Inspector General of Prisons (DIG-Prisons) Maj Shamsul Haider Siddique told The Daily Star last night that they received the detention order in the evening. He said the detention order referred to a SB report that said if Falu is released from jail, law and order situation might deteriorate.
After receiving the order, jail authorities informed Falu, now in Kashimpur jail in Gaziur, about it.
Joint forces arrested Falu, also former political secretary to ex-premier Khaleda Zia, at his city residence on corruption charges on February 5 last year.
