Narayanganj MP Salim Osman will be sued in court after a judicial inquiry found his involvement in the public humiliation of a school teacher. A Dhaka court has already initiated the process to lodge a case
on the issue after a Narayanganj court forwarded the police complaint (general diary) and other legal documents following a High Court order.
Chief Judicial Magistrate Jesmin Ara Begum has already ordered the Narayanganj police chief to submit the details of MP Salim and one Apu Pradhan by Wednesday. The court issued the order on Mar 19, but it was not reported in the media. After getting the details, Magistrate Jesmin Ara Begum will take cognizance of the case and nominate a plaintiff. Lawyer Aminul Gani Tito, an expert in criminal procedure, told bdnews24.com that according to the regulations, a staffer of the concerned High Court bench or a court police’s officer will be the plaintiff. Public Prosecutor Anwarul Kabir Babul said, “The court is authorised to nominate anyone related to matter as its representative, which means the plaintiff in such cases.”
A 2016 video showing a May 13 incident of local high school Principal Shyamal Kanti Bhakta being assaulted and publicly humiliated by MP Salim Osman sparked intense outrage across the country.
A complaint was filed at the Narayanganj Port Police Station, but police said that an investigation had found ‘no incidence of wrongdoing’ and claimed the story was fake. But the High Court, saying police had failed to identify the main suspects, ordered a judicial inquiry on the matter on Jan 19 of this year. The report was delivered on Jan 19 and, on Jan 22, the High Court ordered the case to be transferred to a Dhaka court.
The general diary and other case documents were then provided to the court of Chief Judicial Magistrate Jesmin Ara Begum on February 28.
