Minister's son shown arrested in 2nd case
Land Minister Shamsur Rahman Sherif's son Shirhan Sherif Tomal, detained on Friday on charge of attack and vandalism, has been shown arrested in another case filed for the crime in Ishwardi upazila of the district.
“Tomal was produced before the Court of Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate Rezaul Karim this morning in connection with a case filed by Azmal Haque Bishwas. After hearing of his bail prayer, it was rejected and Tomal was shown arrested in the case,” advocate Abdul Ahad, lawyer of the detainee, said yesterday.
Azmal Haque, a freedom fighter, filed a case accusing Shirhan Sherif Tomal and 33 others on Saturday night.
Early Friday, law enforcers arrested Tomal and 10 other ruling party men on charge of vandalising the house of Bangladesh Chhatra League (BCL) leader Jubayer Bishwas in Ishwardi upazila.
A group of ruling party men allegedly led by Tomal and Razib Sarkar, president and general secretary of Ishwardi Jubo League, vandalised the house of upazila BCL President Jubayer Biswas at Aminpara on Thursday afternoon. They also vandalised several business set-ups and a few houses in Ishwardi municipality area.
Jubayer's father freedom fighter Atiar Rahman filed a case with Ishwardi Police Station the same evening accusing 32 named people including Tomal.
“After filing of the case, police raided different areas of the upazila early Friday and arrested 11 people including the land minister's son,” said Abdul Hai Talukder, officer in charge of Ishwardi Police Station.
Earlier on Sunday, the same court rejected the bail prayer of Tomal and other arrestees.
