Good to All, Bad to Cops

Police out to 'frame' youth

File third case against DU student

Rashidul Hasan
Instead of withdrawing two "false" cases against him, police have now implicated Abdul Quader, a biochemistry master's student at Dhaka University, in carjacking.
Known as a gentle, caring person to his classmates and teachers, Quader has been detained for the last 11 days in two cases for robbery and possessing sharp weapons.
The carjacking case was filed by Mohammadpur police on July 15 accusing five to six unnamed people. Quader, who was arrested by Khilgaon police in the city's Segunbagicha area in the early hours of July 16, was made an accused in it yesterday.
On Tuesday, family members, classmates and teachers formed a human chain demanding his release. They also alleged police beat him up so hard that he could not walk and had to be admitted to hospital.
Prof Mamun Rashid Chowdhury, chairman of the biochemistry and molecular biology department, yesterday said there is not an iota of doubt that Quader is innocent. He has not been involved in any unlawful activities
in his university life.
He has been awaiting appointment after passing the BCS (Bangladesh Civil Service) examinations.
“Quader meets his expenses working as a private tutor. You will be amazed to know a guardian of his student was so worried that she came to my room to enquire about his condition,” continued Mamun, talking to The Daily Star.
“I'm sure he is the victim of a police mess-up. Instead of admitting their mistakes, police are now trying to cover them up like they did in the case of Limon.”
Talking to classmates and teachers visiting him at Dhaka Medical College Hospital on July 16, Quader said he was picked up from Segunbagicha around 1:00am while returning to his dormitory, Fazlul Haq Muslim Hall.
Khilgaon police, on the other hand, claim they arrested him between 3:00am and 3:30am on July 16.
Anwar Hossain, president
of DU Teachers Association and a biochemistry teacher, said Quader told him that when police held him, he gave his identity and denied involvement in any wrongdoing, but to no avail.
They hacked him in the leg with a machete to show that he had been set upon by a mob after being caught in the act of robbing.
Anwar and his two students met Quader at the gate of Dhaka Central Jail on July 22.
The biochemistry department's chairman said they will do everything necessary to get their student freed as soon as possible.
Meanwhile, Human Rights Commission Chairman Mizanur Rahman yesterday condemned police torture on Quader.
Talking to the victim's family and classmates at his office, he said he will write to the police chief and seek explanation why the cops had tortured Quader.
The teachers and students of biochemistry yesterday
submitted a memorandum to DU Vice-chancellor Prof AAMS Arefin Siddique, demanding measures to have the cases against Quader withdrawn and punishment to the officer-in-charge of Khilgaon Police Station.
Contacted last night, the VC said he has already called the inspector general of police, asking him to release the student and also to ensure that he is not tortured.
IGP Hassan Mahmood Khandker told The Daily Star, “We are investigating the matter.”
Helal Uddin, officer-in-charge of Khilgaon Police Station, said they made the arrest after another detainee had named Quader as one of their accomplices.
Asked how the student was injured, he claimed he had been beaten up by a mob near Old Police Camp in Khilgaon. But he and his accomplices managed to escape the scene to be arrested later in Segunbagicha.
