BNP sues 30 cops for Farroque attack

Dhaka, July 10 (bdnews24.com)—BNP has filed an attempt to murder case with a Dhaka court against 30 policemen for the 'attack' on opposition chief whip Zainul Abdin Farroque during the hartal hours on July 6.

A B M Ashrafuddin Nizan, a BNP MP, filed the case with the Dhaka's Chief Metropolitan Magistrate's Court of M K Azad on Sunday morning, one of the counsels of the plaintiff, Joynal Abedin Mejbah, told bdnews24.com.

Dhaka Metropolitan Police's additional deputy commissioner (ADC) Harun-or-Rashid and Mohammadpur zone assistant commissioner Biplob Sarker are among the accused, he added.

The court heard the case to settle whether it would be taken into cognisance and it will pass its opinion later in the day.

The opposition chief whip, currently being treated at United Hospital, came under 'police attack' when he was leading a procession of some 25 opposition MPs from Farmgate to the parliament building on the first day of the BNP-led alliance's 48-hour hartal that began at 6am on July 6.

Police filed a case against Farroque, Syeda Asifa Ashrafee Papiya MP and some 10 other unnamed people the same night, but "declined" to let the BNP sue the following day two of their senior colleagues on charge of assaulting Farroque.

When Nizan went to Sher-e-Bangla Nagar Police Station he was told that police themselves had filed a case over the incident and investigation was ongoing.

Witnesses said Farroque had fiercely argued with ADC Harun at the time and the two swore at each other. A scuffle followed and the MP was beaten and kicked by the law-enforcers.

Prime minister Sheikh Hasina on Thursday regretted the 'accident' and told parliament that she was keeping a tab on his condition.

She, however, went on to add, "None expects a parliamentarian to pelt brickbats at vehicles or assault police. People expect amicable and polite behaviour from an MP."

Home minister Shahara Khatun, describing the injury as 'unexpected and sad', told parliament the same day that a three-member committee, headed by an additional inspector general of police, was formed to investigate it.

She said any kind of demonstration around the parliament complex during its session is banned.

ADC Harun, who was also injured in the incident, told reporters that Farroque did not stop the procession despite his call and rather, with party activists, threw brickbats at buses on Manik Mia Avenue.

He also claimed the opposition chief whip hurled abuses at police.

he High Court on Tuesday granted anticipatory bail to Opposition Chief Whip Zainul Abdin Farroque for three-month in a criminal case filed by police.

The court also granted anticipatory bail for three months to BNP lawmaker Syeda Asifa Ashrafi Papia in the same case.

Sher-e-Bangla Nagar police on July 6 filed the case on charge of obstructing them from carrying out duties in the capital during a nationwide 48-hour shutdown sponsored by BNP-led four-party alliance that began on the same day at 6:00am.

The HC during the day's hearing also expressed hope that the government would not obstruct Farroque from going to abroad for treatment.

The court passed the order following a bail petition jointly filed by Farroque and Papia on Monday.
