Leaked phone call: Ctg police press charges against BNP’s Amir Khasru
Chattogram police have pressed charges against BNP's standing committee member and former commerce minister Amir Khasru Mahmud Chowdhury in a case filed on charge of conspiring to destabilise the country by instigating a student movement.
Sub-Inspector (SI) Sanjoy Guha of Counter Terrorism (CT) unit, Chattogram Metropolitan Police (CMP) submitted the charge sheet to a court yesterday (Wednesday) against Khasru and a BNP activist, Milhanur Rahman Nowmi, under the Special Powers Act, CMP Deputy Commissioner (DC) Farook-ul-Haque told The Daily Star today.
Jakaria Dastagir, general secretary of Chattogram city unit of BCL, filed the case under the ICT Act and Special Power Act on charges of instigating the student movement for safe roads, and also conspiring to destabilise the country after a phone conversation of the two had been leaked.
However, the two have been charged with the Special Power Act only as police placed a final report, saying that charges against Khasru brought under the ICT Act could not be proven during the investigations, our Chattogram staff correspondent reports quoting the DC.
On August 28 of 2018, the BNP leader secured bail for six weeks from the High Court. He was sent to jail on October 21, 2018 after he surrendered before the court of Chattogram Sessions Judge.
He was later freed on bail on November, 12, 2018, in the case.
