Cops face action for charge sheet in 'false' case against KEPZ staff in Ctg

Departmental action has been ordered against some policemen of Anwara thana for submitting charge sheet against some officials and employees of Korean Export Processing Zone (KEPZ) in a false case.

The order was given after investigation into the matter, ordered by Additional Police Superintendent (north) Hasib Aziz, following a complaint by the KEPZ authorities.

One Shamsun Nahar Begum had filed a case with Anowara thana on August 6 last year against eight persons including KEPZ Security Officer Humayun Kabir Chowdhury. The case was filed allegedly at the instigation of some vested quarters, sources in the KEPZ claimed.

Charge sheet of the case was submitted accusing six persons excluding Humayun Kabir and one Md Faruq. It was recorded in the thana register.

But later, a separate charge sheet was submitted to court involving all the eight accused including Humayun Kabir, suppressing the police records, they said.

A warrant of arrest was issued against Humayun Kabir on the basis of the second charge sheet and he was detained for two days.

Later, following a complaint by the KEPZ authorities, the matter was investigated.

The probe report submitted to Police Super on May 13 said that two sets of charge sheets were prepared in the case in violation of law.
