The mother of petty criminal Joj Mia, who was falsely implicated in the August 21 grenade attack cases, appears before a Dhaka court on September 8, 2014 and seeks justice for the harassment of her son.

A Dhaka court on May 8, 2014 frames charges against 13 members of banned militant outfit Harkat-ul-Jihad-al-Islami (Huji), including its top leader Mufti Abdul Hannan, in connection with the CPB rally bomb blast case in 2001.

Why police offered to give her money to meet her family needs was not clear to Jobeda Khatun, mother of Joj Mia. An unknown, petty criminal, Joj Mia was to appear as a much-talked-about character in 2005 in connection with the August 21, 2004 grenade blasts at an Awami League rally in the capital.

Walking through the busy, rain-soaked Bangabandhu Avenue, it was almost impossible to picture what had happened here 10 years ago.
