HC asks cops to arrest 5 for managing fake bail
The High Court today directed police to immediately arrest five accused of Omar Faruk murder case in Bogra for making a fake bail order of the court.
The accused managed a photocopy of a false HC order in which it was seen that they got eight weeks’ anticipatory bail on June 8 this year in the murder case, although their bail petition was actually rejected by the court on the same day.
The accused are Md Tayab Ali, Montazer Rahman, Minhaz, Md Sanaul Sana and Md Mizan from different villages under Shibganj upazila in Bogra, who are now out of jail.
The HC also asked the Supreme Court registrar general to find out the persons responsible for providing the fake bail order through conducting an inquiry and to file a criminal case against the people responsible for this.
The bench of Justice M Enayetur Rahim and Justice Shahidul Karim came up with the order after a lawyer of the accused Advocate Matiur Rahman Uzzal placed a photocopy of the fabricated bail order before it, Assistant Attorney General Md Yousuf Mahmud Morshed told The Daily Star.
He said the HC judges on June 8 this year rejected a petition by Tayab, Montazer, Minhaz, Sanaul and Mizan seeking anticipatory bail in the case, considering that the petition was not moved properly before them.
Contacted, Advocate Matiur Rahman Uzzal told The Daily Star that the five accused came to his chamber at the Supreme Court Bar Association on Sunday and gave the photocopy of the fake bail order.
They requested him to withdraw a certified copy of the bail order from the concerned office of the HC, he said.
When he told them that the HC did not grant them bail in the case rather it rejected their bail prayer, the accused left the court area, the lawyer added.
Omar Faruk of Dobila village at Shibganj upazila was killed on March 5 this year.
His brother Md Ferdaus Hossain filed the case with Shibganj Police Station on March 7 against the accused in this connection.
