Arrest order issued for slain Jubo League leader's wife
Dilruba Akhter Dilu, wife of a slain Jubo League leader, and eight others have been sued for their alleged derogatory comments on Religious Affairs Minister Motiur Rahman.
Mustafizur Rahman Shaheen, joint secretary of Muktijuddha Sansad Sontan Command, Mymensingh district unit, lodged the case with Cognizance Court No-1. Additional Judicial Magistrate Rozina Khan of the court accepted the case and issued an order of arrest for Dilu this afternoon, said Abdur Rahman Al Hossain Taz, who stood for the plaintiff.
Dilu is the wife of slain Jubo League leader Sajjad Alam Sheikh Azad alias Azad Sheikh of Mymensingh town's Akua area. Azad, a member of the Jubo League City Convening Committee, was shot and hacked to death in his locality on July 31.
In the case, the plaintiff alleged that the accused addressed a rally over the killing of Azad on August 28 where they termed the minister a “Rajakar”. Later, the incident went viral on social media.
Following the killing, Azad's wife Dilu lodged a case with Kotwali Police Station on August 2 accusing some 25 named and 10 unnamed persons. Mohit-ur-Rahman Shanto, Motiur Rahman's son and secretary of Awami League Mymensingh City unit, was made the prime accused in the case. However, the case was not recorded at the time.
Police finally recorded the case following a High Court order on Friday night, a month after it was filed with Mymensingh Kotwali Police Station.
Meanwhile, Dilu claimed they never made any derogatory remarks about the minister. “The case was lodged only to harass us and with a view to turning the murder case into another direction…,” she said.
