UP member lands in jail
A union parishad (UP) member in Gobindaganj upazila has been sent to jail in a case filed over his second marriage.
Senior Judicial Magistrate Partha Bhadra passed the order when Rezaul Karim, a member of Taluk-Kanupur UP, was produced before his court in the upazila on Monday.
As the UP member married another woman without his first wife Dilruba Begum’s permission, Dilruba on Sunday filed a case against three people with Gobindaganj Police Station under Women and Children Repression Prevention Act.
The accused are Rezaul Karim, his uncle Anisur Rahman Rana and friend Bipul Gachu.
The following day, police arrested Rezaul, said Mehedi Hasan, officer-in-charge of the police station.
According to the case statement, Rezaul had an extramarital affair with a female vice chairman of the upazila parishad.
Seven days ago, the UP member eloped with the woman, mother of two children. They later got married.
