Civil society leaders demand Monindra Lal's release
Civil society leaders at a view exchange meeting in Khagrachhari yesterday urged the government to take action for release of former Khagrachhari Hill District Council (KHDC) chairman Monindra Lal Tripura.
At the meeting jointly organised by KHDC and district police at Khagrachhari Town Hall, they criticised police for 'harassing' innocent indigenous people over Monindra Lal's arrest.
They demanded immediate release of Monindra Lal Tripura and proper investigation by a high-level committee.
Additional Superintendent of Police Osman Gani said, “Monindra Lal Tripura was arrested following confessional statement given by other accused. Only court will decide whether he is guilty or not. Police cannot do anything in this regard.”
Acting KHDC Chairman Ruhity Karbari attended as chief guest at the meeting presided over by Additional Superintendent of Police Osman Gani.
Acting Sadar Zone Commander Major Iftekar Ahmed, Additional Deputy Commissioner (Revenue) Masud Ahmed also attended the meeting.
