Taqi's father gets police protection
The government has given police protection to Rafiur Rabbi, an independent candidate for Narayanganj-5 by-polls and a convener of Santrash Nirmul Mancha.
An assistant sub-inspector and four constables were deployed yesterday to ensure security of Rabbi round the clock, said Manjur Kader, officer-in-charge of Narayanganj Sadar Mobel Police Station.
Talking to reporters, Rabbi informed that he did not seek any police protection from the government. The team suddenly started giving him protection from yesterday, he said.
Rabbi, father of Tanwir Muhammed Taqi who was killed by miscreants in March last year, on May 21 declared to contest the by-poll scheduled to be held on June 26.
Earlier at a press briefing on May 23, Shamim Osman, an Awami League lawmaker of Narayanganj-4, demanded the government to give police protection to Rabbi saying that he will be held responsible if Rabbi went missing.
The briefing was held after a conversation between Shamim and AL leader Nur Hossain, the key suspect of the seven-murder in Narayanganj, was leaked.
