DHAKA, May 5, 2019 (BSS) – A case was filed today with a Dhaka court
against six persons including BNP acting chairman Tarique Rahman and its
secretary general Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir over an alleged attack on
Jananetri Parishad president AB Siddiqui.
The case was filed with the court of Dhaka metropolitan magistrate Abu
Sufian Md Noman. The court recorded statement of the plaintiff and ordered
officer in-charge of Bangshal Police Station to probe the matter and submit
the report before it.
The other accused are BNP joint secretary general Ruhul Kabir Rizvi
Ahmed, standing committee members Amir Khasru Mahmud Chowdhury, Khandaker
Mosharraf Hossain and Goyeswar Chandra Roy. The plaintiff also made five
unnamed miscreants accused in the case.
“I was stopped by four/five youths in Tantibazar area near lower court
on April 30. They started manhandling me and torn my dress. All the time they
were saying that BNP senior leaders following the order of Tarique Rahman,
directed them to compel me to withdraw cases I lodged against them. They
threatened me to withdraw the cases or face same fate as Nusrat,” Siddiqui
told BSS.
He further said while leaving the area, the goons took his Mujib Coat
and Taka 2200 from him and said they are giving him one month time to
withdraw all the cases.
