latest Narayanganj mosque explosion: Death toll rises to 31 Home National Cox’s Bazar court rejects Sinha’s sister’s appeal to include SP in case

A court in Cox’s Bazar on Thursday rejected a prayer of slain Major (Retd) Sinha’s sister seeking to include district police super ABM Masud Hossain as an accused in her case.

After hearing the prayer, Cox’s Bazar senior judicial magistrate Tamanna Farha’s court rejected the prayer filed by Sinha’s sister Sharmin Sharia Ferdous early Thursday afternoon.

Earlier in the day, Sharmin Sharia Ferdous’ lawyer Mohammad Mostafa told reporters that Masud continued creating obstacles in the investigation of the case and alleged that he wrote to the jail authorities to give division to the two key accused, suspended Teknaf police station officer-in-charge Pradeep Das and inspector Liakat Ali.

Sharmin alleged that Masud had been helping the two accused police officers since the beginning.

Sinha, 36, who went on early retirement from the Bangladesh Army in November 2018, was shot dead at a police checkpoint on Cox’s Bazar-Teknaf Marine Drive at Shamlapur under Teknafupazila in Cox’s Bazar on July 31.

Sinha’s sister filed a murder case with the judicial magistrate court in Cox’s Bazar on August 5 accusing nine police personnel.
