Five sued for implicating shrimp trader in false case
Five people including a district level BNP leader have been sued for implicating a shrimp trader in a false case.
The deputy assistant director (DAD) of Rab-6, Amir Hossain filed the case with Sadar police station accusing the five yesterday.
The accused are district BNP leader and Alipur union chairman Abdur Rouf, his son Abdus Selim, Kabir Hossain Bhutto, son of Abdul Mazed and Enamul Haque, a staff of brick kiln owned by accused Rouf of village Alipur in Sadar upazila and Amirul Islam, son of Miaraj Gazi of village Shakhiur in Debhata upazila.
The complainant alleged that on May 21 night the accused had planted firearms at the house of shrimp trader Shafiqul Islam who happens to be a local Awami League (AL) leader at village Nathuardanga in Sadar upazila. The accused wanted to implicate Shafiqul in a false arms case, the complainant added.
Earlier, Rab personnel picked up Amirul Islam, Kabir Hossain Bhutto, Nuruzzaman Paltu and Hadiuzzaman Badsha on July 13 suspecting their involvement in the incident.
During interrogation at Rab headquarters in Uttara, Dhaka, Amirul and Bhutto admitted to their involvement with the misdeed saying, they did it at BNP leader Rouf's dictation.
After planting the firearms, Amirul, Selim and Bhutto informed Rab men who raided Safiqul's house on May 21, the Rab official said.
However, three other accused went into hiding, Sadar police station officer-in-charge (OC) Shah Jahan said. “We are trying to arrest them,” he said further adding, the two arrestees were brought to Satkhira police station early yesterday.
Mentionable, agitated villagers confined the Rab team in a room for about eight hours following the raid at the house of the innocent shrimp trader on May 21.
As the Rab officials regretted and assured the villagers punishment to the culprits, the villagers freed them on May 22 morning.
