Possessing yaba: Charge framing hearing on Jan 30 against suspended ASI
A Dhaka court today set January 30 for hearing on charge framing against three people, including an assistant sub-inspector, in a case filed for possessing 100 yaba tablets.
The accused are Mahbub Alam, suspended ASI of Pallabi Police Station, and informants Mohammad Rubel and Sohel Rana.
All the three are now on bail in the case.
The accused framed trader Mohammad Khalil with possession of yaba near the capital's Cantonment Railway Station on September 6 last year.
Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Arafatul Rakib set the date after the case was placed before him.
On December 26 last year, investigation officer of the case, Anowar Hossain, also a sub-inspector of Cantonment Police Station, submitted the charge sheet to the Chief Metropolitan Magistrate's Court of Dhaka saying that the three accused illegally carried the yaba pills.
In the charge sheet, the IO said ASI Mahbub Alam, who arrested trader Khalil for possession of yaba in September, illegally possessed 100 yaba pills.
Two of his informants -- Mohammad Rubel and Sohel Rana -- assisted him commit such offences, said the probe.
The investigator said ASI Mahbub provided false information to Sub-Inspector Kamrul Islam and fabricated the incident of recovering yaba from Khalil to establish the seizure list, based on which SI Kamrul filed a case against Khalil over possession of 100 yaba pills.
The footage of a private TV channel showed ASI Mahbub, in plainclothes, stopping Khalil and scuffling with him near Cantonment Railway Station.
Mahbub took a packet of yaba pills from Rubel and put it into Khalil's pocket. He then claimed to have caught Khalil with yaba pills.
Khalil was sent to jail on September 7 and later in the month, cleared from charges after police found him innocent during the investigation.
