A Narayanganj court has sentenced Nagarik Andalon leader Rafiur Rabbi to a year in prison in a cheque fraud case. Additional District and Sessions Judge Mamun-ur-Rashid in the verdict, delivered on Wednesday, also fined him Tk 21 million in the case filed five years ago.
Cultural activist Rabbi is the father of Tanvir Mohammad Twaki, who was kidnapped and murdered in March 2013.
Rabbi, also the convener of the Narayanganj chapter
of Shahbagh’s Ganajagaran Mancha, has been accusing ruling Awami League leader and former MP AKM Shamim Osman and his family of killing Twaki.
The cheque fraud case was filed by Jalal Uddin of North Chashrha in July 2010 accusing Rabbi. Jalal, who is a relative of Shamim Osman, had accused Rabbi of embezzling Tk 75,000. The plaintiff’s lawyer Advocate Masudur Rauf told bdnews24.com that the accused would have to pay Tk 14 million of the amount fined to his client and deposit the rest in the state coffer. Rabbi’s lawyer Awlad Hossain said they would appeal against the verdict.
