Officer-in-charge (OC) of Ramna Police Station yesterday appeared before a Dhaka court and tendered his unconditional apology for violating its order. Metropolitan Magistrate Mehedi Hassan Talukder pardoned and directed OC SM Shibly Noman to register a petition as a regular case and start its investigation. Earlier on April 15, the same court directed the OC to appear in person before it and explain within seven days why he did not register a petition as a regular case. On March 24, a resident of Siddheshwari Arunodoy Apartment Sharifullah Majumder filed a case against Fisheries and Live Stock ministry Secretary Mohammad Sharful Alam, his cousin AB Siddique alias Renu, Mohammad Rabiul, Nur Islam and Al Amin on charges of cheating, looting and extorting. After the hearing, Mehedi recorded statement of the complainant, took the charge into cognizance and directed the Ramna OC to register it as First Information Report (FIR) and investigate the issue. But the OC, without registering it as a regular case, submitted a report to the court. The court then took it a gross violation of the court order and directed Shibly to appear in person before it and explain why he violated the court order.
