Asaduzzaman lands in jail

A Dhaka court has sent former Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) commissioner Asaduzzaman Mia to jail on completion of the seven-day remand in a case filed over the custodial death of Nuruzzaman Jony, former general secretary of the Khilgaon Thana Chhatra Dal.

Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Arifur Rahman passed the order on Thursday (September 19) after a hearing in the case.

Earlier in the day, Sub-Inspector (SI) of Khilgaon police station Golap Mahmud produced Asaduzzaman Mia before the court on completion of a seven-day remand. Later, he appealed to the court to keep him in jail until the investigation of the case is completed. 

Besides, the investigation officer of another case Sajal Chandra Pal appealed to show him arrested in another murder case filed with Uttara East police station. 

Asaduzzaman’s lawyers argued for his bail. At that time, the prosecution opposed it. 

After hearing both sides, the court ordered him to be sent to jail by showing his arrest in the case filed at Uttara East police station.

On the night of September 11, the members of Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) arrested former Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) Commissioner Asaduzzaman Mia from Mohakhali area in the capital.
