Six cops sued over corruption

'False case' filed after police failed to extort money, claims family

Staff Correspondent, ag
Six police personnel, including the officer-in-charge (OC) of Akbar Shah Police Station, were sued by a woman under Corruption Prevention Act-1947 on charge of implicating her husband in a “false” arms case after failing to acquire "extortion money".
Rubi Begum, 41, wife of Abul Kashem alias Alamgir -residents of Firojshah Colony in the port city - filed the case accusing the six police personnel with the court of Metropolitan Sessions Judge Akbar Ali Mridha, said plaintiffs lawyer Fazlul Karim Bhuiyan.
"The case of the complainant will be heard by October 24," said the lawyer.
The six accused are: Akbar Shah Police Station's OC Jasim Uddin, Sub-inspector (SI) Md Alauddin, SI Ashadul Islam, ASI Saiful Alam, ASI Abu Bakar Siddique, and Constable Nurul Alam.
According to the case statement, plaintiffs husband Abul Kashem is a poultry seller in Masjid Ghona area. His brother-in-law also lives in the area and runs a cattle farm in Pahartali. On September 26, one Ibrahim of the area died from electrocution. Kashem and his brother-in-law rushed him to Chattogram Medical College Hospital (CMCH) as neighbours. On that day, Kashem was arrested and was later taken to Pahartali Police Station. A murder case was lodged against him in connection with the death of Ibrahim.

The case statement added that the plaintiff and her brother Alam went to the police station with breakfast for Kashem where SI Alauddin asked Alam for Tk 2 lakh in exchange of Kashem's release and said that otherwise he (Kashem) will be implicated in a case. When the family members and locals went to talk to the OC, they were not allowed to enter the police station.
However, on September 28 police produced Kashem before the court, telling family members that a murder case was lodged over's Ibrahim death and Kashem was the accused.
Lawyer Fazlul said when Rubi Begum went to the court and managed to procure a copy of the case statement, she found that police made her husband accused in an
arms case, dated September 27. Her brother was shown as “fugitive" in the same case.
"From September 26 night to September 28, Kashem was under the custody of Akbar Shah police but they mentioned that a firearm was recovered from his possession. The plaintiff said as police failed to extort money from Kashem, they implicated him in the false case," said lawyer Fazlul.
"The cattle farm run by Kashem's brother-in-law is on a disputed land and a section of influential persons of the area have been trying to grab the land. Kashem used to help his brother-in-law to run the operations of the cattle farm," said lawyer Fazlul, adding that the family said police filed the "false case" and implicated Kashem and his brother-in-law in favour of the land grabbers.
