REPORT-ARREST-KHALEDA
Report on executing arrest warrant for Khaleda on July 29
DHAKA, July 29, 2019 (BSS) – A Dhaka court today set July 29 to submit
report on executing an order to arrest BNP chairperson Begum Khaleda Zia in a
case lodged over allegations of making religious instigation and creating
conflict among people of different classes.
Today was fixed for submitting the report, but Gulshan Police Station
authorities failed to do it. Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Ziaur Rahman then
set the fresh date.
Dhaka metropolitan magistrate Mohammad Jashim issued the warrant for
Khaleda on January 20. The court also ordered Gulshan Police Station to
submit report on executing the order.
According to the case documents, the BNP leader made some objectionable
comments while exchanging greetings with the members of Hindu community at
capital’s Engineers Institution on October 14, 2014.
Jananetri Parishad president AB Siddique filed the case against Khaleda on
October 21, 2014.
The court asked an official of Shahbagh Police Station to probe the case.
Shahbagh Police Station inspector Jafar Ali Biswas on June 30, 2018, filed
report saying he has found the allegations true.
