Court orders probe against ASP
A Dhaka court yesterday ordered police to submit a probe report by April 12 in a case filed against an assistant superintendent of police (ASP) for concealing his religious identity during marriage to a Muslim woman.
Metropolitan Magistrate Mohammad Erfan Ullah passed the order directing an additional inspector general of police (administration) to investigate the matter and submit a report on the allegation.
Shilpi Akhter, a resident of South Goran in the city's Khilgaon area, filed the case against ASP Sudarsan Kumar Roy with the Chief Metropolitan Magistrate's Court of Dhaka on February 16.
The accused is currently posted at Dinajpur district.
In her complaint, Shilpi said Sudarsan married her on December 10, 2010, first using an affidavit and then a Nikahnama (marriage registration document) from a Muslim registry office in Dhaka on January 20 last year, to register the marriage.
