A Dhaka Court has placed BNP Standing Committee Member Gayeshwar Chandra Roy on three-day remand in a case filed with Shahbagh Police Station on the charge of attempting to murder MP Chhabi Biswas.
Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Tosruzzaman passed the order after police produced him in the court with a 10-day
remand plea on Friday afternoon. Gayeswar was reportedly picked up by a team of Detective Branch (DB) of Police from Siddheswari in Dhaka. Family members claimed that the DB police had also raided the BNP leader’s Rayerbazar residence around 8:30pm on Thursday in order to arrest him. Later, they raided his Siddheswari house and picked up him.
However, they could not give any further information in this regard.
Condemning the detention, BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia said: “The government is arresting the members of the opposition BNP in order to stay in power.”
Two cases were filed against 150 leaders and activists of the BNP and its youth and student wings in connection with the Bakshibazar clash. Former Chhatra Dal president Azizul Bari Helal and incumbent President Rajib Ahsan have been named as accused in a case filed on the night of the incident.
BNP leaders and activists were confronted by Chhatra League activists and police near Bakshibazar makeshift court ahead of BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia’s appearance in the court in two corruption cases on Wednesday. At least 30 people, including AL MP Chhabi Biswas, were injured in the clash.
Miscreants also torched his car parked in front of the Dhaka Medical College Hospital.
