Lalmonirhat AL men fleeing homes
48 facing 'false' cases, AL leaders say
Local leaders of Awami League (AL) and its front organisations Chhatra League and Jubo league are fleeing homes in the town to avoid arrest following filing of cases by ruling BNP men for alleged violence during the AL-called countrywide hartal on January 3.
At least 48 activists of the parties are facing "false" cases, some AL leaders told journalists here on Tuesday.
Chhatra Dal leader Nabin filed a case against 29 people including the district AL joint secretary advocate Matiyer Rahman, Chhatra League President Zahurul Haq Mamun and secretary Ershad Hossain Jahangir, they said.
The case was filed with the Sadar thana under the Speedy Trial Act.
Nineteen others have been accused in another case filed by Chhatra Dal leader Saju.
They alleged that police did not accept any case by AL men against BNP men for creating violence and attacking AL men during the hartal.
