A Dhaka Court yesterday (Wednesday) placed Mirpur Model Police Station Sub-Inspector Jahidur Rahman and police source Nasim on a four-day fresh remand to quiz them about the death of garment waste scrap-cloth trader Mahbubur Rahman Sujon in police custody on July 12.
Magistrate Mizanur Rahman of the Chief Metropolitan Magistrate (CMM) passed the order after a hearing on Wednesday noon.
Detective Branch (DB) Inspector Nibaran Chandra Barman produced Jahid and police source Nasim to the court on the day with a 10-day fresh remand plea at the end of the 5-day remand.
July 15, police arrested SI Jahid for his alleged involvement with the murder of jhut trader Mahbubur Rahman Sujon, and on July 17, the court placed him on a 5-day remand.
On July 12, a police team led by SI Jahid picked up businessman Mahbubur Rahman Sujon, his wife Mumtaj Sultana Luci and their five-year-old son from their Shankar residence in Mohammadpur and took them to Mirpur Police Station. The police claimed to have recovered two magazines and 10 bullets from the house.
Sujon’s family members said that police had tortured him at a separate room in the Police Station. When his physical condition became critical, he was taken to Suhrawardy Hospital, where physicians declared him dead.
Meanwhile, Sujon’s cousin Apu Chakladar maintained that police had walloped Sujon to death in the Police Station.
On July 20, the court of Dhaka’s Metropolitan Session’s Judge ordered a judicial enquiry into the death of Sujon, hours after the victim’s wife filed a murder case against 10 people, including five police personnel of the police station. Officer-in-Charge (OC) Salahuddin Khan, SI Jahidur Rahman Khan and five informants of police are among the accused.
