| [Bangla Daily Star] Police placed in durance vile nine Jamaat leaders and activists from the city on charges of assaulting coppers and obstructing their duties during a reception to Rajshahi city unit Jamaat-e-Islami chief Ataur Rahman who was freed on bail last night. The jugged Jamaat leaders include city unit Jamaat Nayeb-e-Amir Ali Ashraf, acting general secretary Abu Bakkar Siddiq and assistant secretary Siddiq Hossain. Ataur was accused in a case for killing Rajshahi University student Faruk last year. He walked out of the Rajshahi Central Jail around 8:00pm after his 19 months of imprisonment in connection with the killing on February 9, 2010. Ataur obtained bail from a High Court bench on August 9 and the jail authorities freed him yesterday after they received the required documents, said jail officials. Witnesses said police jugged the Jamaat men from near the residence of Ataur Rahman at Terokhadia at around 8:45pm. Rajpara Police Station Officer-in-Charge Mokarram Hossain Khan said the Jamaat men brought out the reception procession ignoring police prohibition and assaulting the law enforcers. However, there's no worse danger than telling a mother her baby is ugly... Entajuddin Mondol, publicity secretary of a co-committee for receiving Ataur, denied the allegations. No, no! Certainly not! of police and claimed police jugged his party men without any provocation. |
