| N'ganj court rejects BNP case |
| 2022-09-05 |
| [NEWAGEBD] A judicial magistrate court in Narayanganj on Sunday rejected a complaint filed by a leader of the Bangladesh Nationalist Party seeking an investigation against 42 police personnel, including district police superintendent Golam Mostofa Rashel and his deputies, for killing Juba Dal activist Shawon Pradhan in the city on September 1. BNP senior joint secretary general Ruhul Kabir Rizvi filed the complaint with the court of Senior Judicial Magistrate Imran Molla in the morning. The court rejected the complaint later in the day. The BNP leader named sub-inspector Mahfuzur Rahman Kanak of the district detective branch as the prime accused, who was reportedly seen using the rifle. Juba Dal activist Shawon was killed and 200 people were maimed in a clash in Narayanganj as law enforcers tried to prevent BNP leaders and activists from holding a rally marking the party’s 44th founding anniversary on September 1. The district police front man and additional police superintendent, Amir Khasru, said on September 2 that Shawon’s brother, Monir Hossain, had filed a case accusing 5,000 BNP leaders and activists of his death. The police also filed a case against 800 BNP leaders and activists over the clash between the BNP and law enforcers in Narayanganj. Monir, however, alleged that the police duped him to take his signature while handing over the body of his brother and later he came to know it was a case against the BNP. The district police front man dismissed the allegation and said that his brother filed the case. He claimed that the police only fired 700 shotgun bullets, 14 tear shells and three sound grenades. |
