Warrant against BNP man for 'beating' Care staff
A Tangail Court has issued a arrest warrant against BNP leader AKM Ahsanul Taiab Zakir, Chairman of Shonatola municipality in Bogra, on charge of beating and injuring an employee of Care Bangladesh, an international NGO.
Zakir allegedly beat the Care employee, Rokeya Begum, on February 10, 2002.
Rokeya then filed a case against Zakir under the Women and Children Repression Control Act.
But the investigation officer, allegedly being influenced by Zakir, gave a final report in the case. But Rokeya filed a naraji petition there.
She then appealed to the High Court for trial of the case in any court other than in Bogra. The HC ordered transfer of the case to Tangail Women and Children Repression Control Tribunal on January 25 this year.
Judge of the Tangail court issued the arrest warrant on May 3.
When contacted, Bogra police said the warrant order did not reach them.
