Narayanganj: Police and a BCL leader have separately filed three cases against 350 BNP leaders and ac-tivists involving violence in Narayanganj district during a daylong general strike on Sunday and its rally in Dhaka on Saturday.
Police have implicated six Juba Dal and Tanti Dal leaders of Narayanganj in the case of killing a police constable during Saturday’s anti-government rally at Nayapaltan in Dhaka.
On Sunday night, Bangladesh Chhatra League’s local leader Abu Bakkar Siddique filed one case with Rupganj Police Station, accusing 74 BNP people including some central leaders. He mentioned that the accused burned his motorcycle.
BNP’s Narayanganj district General Secretary Golam Faruk Khokon said that the case filed by the BCL leader was politically motivated. He said one of their activists was already in jail, but his name came in the case that he joined the protest and took part in the act of burning the bike.
Khokon questioned how a man came out of the jail and burned the bike owned by the BCL leader?
Separately, police have filed another case against 85 BNP leaders and activists on charges of putting bar-ricades on roads, committing arson attacks and vandalising at Sonargaon upazila. Another 80 unidenti-fied people have been mentioned as accused in the first information report of the case, which means po-lice can arrest anyone and implicate in the case.
Sonargaon Police Station’s Officer-in-Charge (OC) Mahbub Alam said on Monday that Sub-Inspector (SI) Muhibullah of the station filed the case as plaintiff.
The case alleges that BNP leaders were responsible for explosion of cocktails and arson at Kanchpur on Saturday night.
