'Attack on pro-BNP lawyers': Court dismisses case against 9 police officials
A Dhaka court today dismissed a case filed against nine police officials including DMP's Kotwali Zone Additional Deputy Commissioner (ADC) Muhit Kabir Sarneabat over "the attack on pro-BNP lawyers during the road march on September 12".
The court of Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Md Saifur Rahman came up with the order as it did not find "any appropriate evidence" to accept the charges in the case.
Earlier in the day, Advocate Md Mohsin Miah, also a former president of Dhaka Bar Association, filed the case with the same court.
The other eight accused are DMP's Lalbagh Zone ADC Shahidul Islam, Kotwali Police Station's Officer-in-charge (OC) Shahinur Rahman, OC (operation) Nazmul Haque, OC (investigation) Mehedi Hasan, Sub-inspector Shahabuddin Howlader, constables Mahbub Alam, Abdur Rashid and Ramzan Mollah.
In his complaint, advocate Mohsin alleged that they brought out a peaceful procession, demanding voting rights and restoration of democracy and polls under a caretaker government, but police suddenly attacked them.
In the attack, at least 23 people, including 16 pro-BNP lawyers were injured, the complainant alleged.
