Former Officer-in-Charge (OC) of Sonagazi Police Station, Moazzem Hossain, who was convicted in the case of spreading the video of interrogation of Nusrat Jahan Rafi, a student of Sonagazi Fazil Madrasa in Feni, has applied to withdraw the case on the grounds of political harassment.<\/p>\n
According to relevant sources on Sunday, the application made to the Deputy Commissioner of Dhaka is currently at the Dhaka Metropolitan Public Prosecutor’s Office for opinion.<\/p>\n
The case was filed by former MP Barrister Syed Sayedul Haque Sumon, who is currently in prison, in connection with the viral video. At that time, he was the central legal secretary of the Jubo League.<\/p>\n
In his application to withdraw the case, Moazzem Hossain mentioned that he was working as the OC of Sonagazi Model Police Station from December 31, 2017 to April 10, 2019. On March 27, 2019, when Nusrat Jahan alias Rafi, an Alim examinee, was sexually harassed by the principal of Sonagazi Fazil Madrasa, he brought her (Nusrat) to the police station through an officer and recorded her statement on his personal mobile phone with permission.<\/p>\n
Since the principal of the madrasa is a first-class government officer, he recorded the statements of the victim and other witnesses as evidence to arrest him. Later, based on the written complaint of the victim’s mother, he filed a case and arrested the principal and sent him to the court.<\/p>\n
In April of that year, during the examination, a group of miscreants poured kerosene on the victim on the roof of the madrasa and set him on fire, and upon receiving news of an attempt to kill him, he (the OC) immediately reached the spot, rescued the victim and sent him to Dhaka Medical College Hospital for advanced treatment at his own expense.<\/p>\n
Later, based on the written complaint of the victim’s brother, a case of attempt to kill was filed against eight people and eight accused, including four, were arrested within two days. At that time, the incident created a sensation in the media across the country and the world. In view of this, the police station was always crowded with everyone, including media workers. In the meantime, without his knowledge, a local correspondent of Somi TV named Atiar Rahman Sajal took the victim’s statement from his mobile phone through ShareIt on his mobile phone.<\/p>\n
After the victim died on April 10, the video of his statement went viral, regarding which he filed a GD at the police station on April 14. On April 16, Barrister Sayedul Haque Suman filed a case in the Cyber \u200b\u200bTribunal regarding this incident.<\/p>\n
The judge ordered the PBI to investigate the case. The PBI illegally investigated the petition and gave a fabricated report. In the report, the investigation officer did not mention from which mobile or ID the video was posted. Without investigating who did it, he gave a report stating that ‘the primary truth of the incident has been found’ at the end of the report, the tribunal directly issued an arrest warrant without issuing a summons as per the rules.<\/p>\n
Later, when he went to the High Court for bail, the police arrested him (OC) and sent him to the court. The court did not grant bail, but instead examined the witnesses at the scene and awarded the maximum sentence based only on the testimony of the plaintiff. At one stage, he was released on bail after serving almost 5 years in prison by appealing to the High Court. Starting from the plaintiff, filing the complaint by the PBI, framing the charges in court, and giving the sentence, the law was not followed anywhere.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
