Detectives pressed charges against photojournalist Shafiqul Islam Kajol in a case filed under the Digital Security Act with Hazaribagh Police Station in the city.
Sub-Inspector (SI) Mohammad Rassel Mollah of the Detective Branch (DB) of police, and the Investigation Officer of the case, submitted the charge sheet to the Chief Metropolitan Magistrate (CMM) Court of Dhaka on Sunday.
The charge sheet says that the charges brought against Kajol were primarily proved and that is why he needs to be brought under trial.
Usmin Ara Beli, a member of Bangladesh Jubo Mahila League’s Central Committee, filed the case against Kajol on March 10 of last year.
Later, Kajol was shown arrested in the case on May 14 of that year and he was placed on a three-day remand in the case on June 28 of the same year.
On June 23, Kajol was also shown arrested in a case filed against him by ruling party lawmaker Saifuzzaman Shikhor (of Magura-1) with Sher-e-Bangla Nagar Police Station under the Digital Security Act.
He was later shown arrested in another case filed with Kamrangir Char Police Station also under the same act.
However, investigators are yet to submit any probe report on the two cases filed with Sher-e-Bangla Nagar and Kamrangir Char police stations.
Kajol was found by Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) in Benapole on May 3, 2020, 53 days after his disappearance. He was then arrested initially on charges of trespassing but was granted bail by a court of Jashore .
However, on the same day, Kajol was shown arrested under section 54 of the Code of Criminal Procedure after police informed the court that three more cases against Kajol were pending with different police stations of the city.
The court then sent him to Jashore jail. Later, he was shifted to the jail in Keraniganj.
