'Attempted Murder': Tangail MP Amanur charged
Detectives have pressed charges against lawmaker Amanur Rahman Khan Rana and 20 others in a case filed for attempting to murder a Bangladesh Chhatra League leader in Ghatail in 2016.
Investigation officer of the case, Shamsul Alam, a sub-inspector of Tangail DB police, on Thursday submitted a charge sheet against the 21 to the Judicial Magistrate's Court in Tangail, Anoarul Islam, court inspector in the district, told The Daily Star yesterday.
Rana, Awami League lawmaker from Tangail-3 (Ghatail) constituency, has been charged with ordering from jail to kill BCL leader Abu Sayeed Rubel, the then vice-president of Ghatail GBG College Chhatra Sangsad, he said.
Rana is in jail since he surrendered to a Tangail court on September 18, 2016, in Tangail district AL leader and freedom fighter Faruk Ahmed murder case.
The court will hear the case on November 18, Anoarul added.
In the case statement, it was said some criminals hacked Rubel on November 9, 2016, leaving him critically injured.
The following day, his father Atab Ali lodged a case with Ghatail Police Station against 17 people.
Ghatail police later arrested two accused of the case -- Abdul Jabbar alias Kala Babu and Selim. Jabbar gave confessional statements before the court on December 20, 2016, and Selim on November 29, 2017.
The duo, in their statements, told the court that when they had met Rana in Kashimpur Central Jail in Gazipur, the lawmaker had expressed his anger at Rubel as he organised different programmes, demanding justice of Faruk murder. Later, they attacked Rubel to kill him, said police.
The investigation of the case was later handed over to DB police.
