Agitation against Nilphamari SP as trader implicated in false case
Hundreds of people under banner of 'Nilphamaribashi' spontaneously observed a one-hour work stoppage here yesterday demanding withdrawal and punishment to Nilphamari superintendent of police (SP) Abdul Kuddus Amin and other police personnel for their 'misdeeds'.
They thronged 'Smrity Amlan' square in the town to express their anger against the SP who allegedly arrested an 'innocent' supplier of police ration named Sazzadur Rahman Roman, also a contractor and medicine trader illegally implicating him in a false case allegedly by pushing four bottles of Phensidyl in his pocket.
Former lawmaker elected from Nilphamari Sadar constituency Asaduzzaman Noor, also central publicity secretary of Awami League, in a statement issued here yesterday deplored the arrest demanding immediate withdrawal of accused police officers and departmental action against them for restoring the image of police.
However, Rajshahi divisional additional inspector general (AIG) of police Md Obaidullah is now on a fact-finding tour here from Friday. He assured local journalists of a neutral and fair investigation.
On Contact, Nilphamari SP refuted the allegations saying he is not to be blamed for anybody's misdeed at field level.
