Ex-MP Tipu's son remanded for ‘killing’ wife
Father-in-law gets bail
A Dhaka court today placed Humayun Sultan, son of former Awami League lawmaker from Jessore Khan Tipu Sultan, on a three-day remand in a case filed for killing his doctor wife.
Shamarukh Mahjabin, 26, was found dead at their Dhanmondi residence in the capital on November 13.
Police have detained Humayun, who practises law at the High Court, soon after Mahjabin’s death.
On Friday, Shariful Islam, a sub-inspector of Dhanmondi Police Station, produced Humayun before the court with a 10-day remand prayer. The court fixed today (November 16) for hearing the petition.
Meanwhile, the High Court granted bail to Tipu Sultan and his wife Jesmin Ara for four weeks in the case.
The bench of Justice Syed AB Mahmudul Huq and Justice Akram Hossain Chowdhury passed the order after hearing their bail petitions.
Tipu and his wife appeared before the bench seeking bail in the case.
After the death of Mahjabin, Humayun and his parents claim that she committed suicide by hanging with a scarf tied to the iron bars of bathroom's ventilator.
But her father Nurul Islam, an assistant PDB engineer in Jessore, filed the murder case against Humayun alleging that she was murdered by her husband and in-laws.
Mahjabin and Humayun got married in April last year.
Shamarukh did MBBS form Holy Family Red Crescent Medical College and was preparing for FCPS.
