Case Against Minu
Charge sheet submitted to Rajshahi court


Police yesterday placed a charge sheet before the Rajshahi Chief Metropolitan Magistrate's Court for acceptance against Rajshahi City Corporation (RCC) Mayor Mizanur Rahman Minu in an extortion case.

The CMM court, however, fixed June 6 for hearing on the charge sheet acceptance.

Sub-Inspector Abdur Rahman Sarkar of Rajpara Police Station pressed the charges against 11 persons, including Minu, on May 16. But the case documents were shifted to a judge's court following two miss cases regarding ad interim bail prayer of two accused in the case.

Minu, however, was freed on an anticipatory bail from the High Court in connection with the case.

Other accused in the case include district Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) Vice-President Nazrul Huda, former city BNP general secretary Shafikul Haque Milon, BNP supporters Tahajuddin, Mainul Islam, Ranju, Ashraf, Shamsul, Sentu and Abdullah Al Mamun.
