Tarique not found in Bogra
Police tell court
Bogra police in a report said yesterday BNP Senior Vice-chairman Tarique Rahman does not own any movable property at his ancestral home and he was not found there.
Sub-inspector Towfiqul Islam of Gabtoli Police Station of Bogra submitted the report on execution of the arrest warrant issued earlier against Tarique, elder son of BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia, in connection with the grenade attack on an Awami League rally on August 21, 2004.
On July 3 and 14, two separate courts issued arrest warrant against Tarique and asked officer-in-charge of Gabtoli Police Station to submit a report on execution of the order by July 26 and August 3.
The courts also issued arrest warrants against BNP lawmaker Kazi Shah Mofazzal Hossain Kaikobad, Khaleda Zia's political secretary Harris Chowdhury, and nine others for the same offences.
In the report, SI Towfiq said that after receipt of the court order on July 7, he went to Tarique's residence at Bagbari village under Gabtoli Police Station in Bogra to arrest him, but he failed as Tarique had been absconding.
The SI quoted locals in the report as saying Tarique never lived in his one-story ancestral home in Gabtoli. He said the order of the arrest warrant issued from the court was hung to a nearby wall of Tarique's residence for public information.
