Court Correspondent :
A Dhaka court yesterday adjourned hearing on charge framing in two cases against expelled Dhaka South Jubo League President Ismail Hossain Chowdhury Samrat till January 7.
The two cases were filed under the Arms and Narcotics Control Act. The hearing was adjourned as Samrat could not be produced in the court on Monday due to his illness.
The case filed under the Arms Act is now pending with the Special Tribunal-2 of Dhaka while the
Narcotics case is pending with the Seventh Additional Metropolitan Sessions Judge’s Court of Dhaka.
Rapid Action Battalion on December 9, last year, pressed charges against Samrat in the case filed under the Narcotics Control Act. Samrat’s cohort Enamul Haque Arman was also charged in the same case.
On October 6 last year, RAB arrested Samrat and Arman, former Vice President of the same unit of Jubo League, in Cumilla after raiding a house near the India-Bangladesh border.
Samrat came under spotlight after RAB busted his illegal casino business at different sporting clubs in the capital. Following his arrest, he was expelled from the youth wing of ruling party.
