HC asks police not to torture Montu Ghosh during remand
The High Court (HC) yesterday directed the police not to torture Advocate Montu Ghosh, adviser of the Garment Sramik Trade Union Kendra, in any manner after taking him on remand in the cases filed against him.
An HC bench of Justice AHM Shamsuddin Chowdhury Manik and Justice Sheikh Md Zakir Hossain also directed the police to provide Montu with all kinds of medical facilities during remand period.
The bench passed the order following a writ petition filed by Montu Ghosh challenging the remand order against him.
A Dhaka court on August 3 allowed police to take Montu, who is also the general secretary of Narayanganj district unit of the Communist Party of Bangladesh (CPB), on a nine-day remand in five cases against him.
The cases were filed with the Adabor and Tejgaon Industrial police stations on different dates on charge of creating unrest in the readymade garment sector and creating blockade on the street during recent demonstration by the garment workers.
He was arrested on July 31 for interrogation in connection with his alleged involvement in the recent RMG violence in Dhaka.
Barrister Sara Hossain appeared for the petitioner while Additional Attorney General Murad Reza and Deputy Attorney General Nazrul Islam Talukder represented the government.
