Court Correspondent :
A Dhaka court yesterday sent Erfan Salim’s cohort AB Siddique Dipu to jail on completion of remand in two phases in the case filed with Kalabagan Police Station in the capital on charge of walloping a Navy officer with attempt to murder him.
Magistrate Debabrata Biswas of the Chief Metropolitan Magistrate (CMM) Court of Dhaka passed the order on Tuesday to send Dipu in the jail rejecting the bail petition.
On completion of five-day remand in two phases, Investigation Officer of the
case produced Dipu in the court and appealed to the court to keep him confined in the jail. On the contrary, lawyer of Dipu filed a bail petition with the court while the prosecution opposed the bail plea. After the hearing , the court ordered police to send Dipu to the jail.
Earlier, Dipu was placed on a three-day remand on October 27 and two-day remand on October 31.
Detective Branch (DB) of Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) arrested AB Siddique Dipu from Tangail on the night of October 26.
Lieutenant Wasif Ahmed Khan filed the case with Dhanmondi Police Station in the morning, naming four accused including AB Siddique Dipu and two to three unnamed persons. Other three named accused are Erfan Salim (37), Md Zahid (35) and Md Mizanur Rahman (30).
Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) arrested Erfan Salim, a councilor of ward 30 of Dhaka South City Corporation and Md Zahid after conducting a drive at the house of Erfan, at Old Dhaka on that day.
A mobile court led by RAB Executive Magistrate Sarwoer Alam also jailed the lawmaker’s son and Zahid for a year each after illegal guns, ammunitions, foreign liquor, walkie-talkies and handcuffs were found during the raid.
On the same day, a Dhaka court placed Erfan’s driver Mizanur Rahman, who was arrested soon after the incident, on one-day remand in connection with the case.
On October 25 night, a video of Lieutenant Wasif screaming for justice before the public after being assaulted by Erfan and his cohorts went viral on social media.
