Youth placed on 10-day remand
A youth who gave a threat to Awami League lawmaker Sheikh Fazle Noor Taposh over mobile phone from Chittagong was shown arrested and taken on a 10-day remand yesterday in connection with a case involving bomb attack on the lawmaker in October last year.
Rapid Action Battalion members arrested Sohel Rana, son of Amir Hossain, from his Khulshi residence in Chittagong on charges of threatening Taposh on February 22.
Second Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Abu Zafar Mohammad Kamruzzaman placed Sohel Rana on a ten-day remand after Assistant Commissioner Akbar Hossain of the Detective Branch (DB) produced him before the court with a remand prayer.
In his forwarding report, Akbar Hossain, also the investigating officer of the case, said Sohel Rana threatened Tapash over cell phone several times.
Unknown assailants hurled a bomb at Taposh's car in front of his law chamber at Motijheel on October 21 last year, leaving 13 people injured. Taposh, however, escaped unhurt.
Following the incidents, DB has so far arrested seven people including brother, sons and daughter of fugitive convicted and executed killers of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman.
They are Kamrul Haq Swapan, brother of fugitive convict Sharifu Haq Dalim, Khondaker Mehnaz Rashid, daughter of fugitive convict Khondaker Abdur Rashid, Mahbubul Hassan Emran and Nazmul Hassan Sohel, sons of executed killer AKM Mohiuddin Ahmed, Ataul Huda, nephew of executed killer Bazlul Huda, and freedom party leaders Abdur Rahim and Shafiullah Safu.
