A Habiganj court has sent former Awami League lawmaker Advocate Majid Khan to jail in a murder case.
Judge of Habiganj Chief Senior Judicial Magistrate Court Abdul Ali passed the order after police produced him before the court, said Baniachong police station鈥檚 officer-in-charge Golam Mostafa.
Earlier on Monday, police arrested Majid, ex-lawmaker from Habiganj-2 constituency (Baniachong- Ajmiriganj), in Farmgate area of Dhaka and handed over to the Baniachong police station.
Police said that the former lawmaker is the second accused in a case over the killing of nine people during the anti-government movement on August 5 last year.
Moreover, Majid was an accused in another case over the murder of Ripon Shil who was killed during the movement.
He was elected as lawmaker in the 2009, 2014, and 2018 national elections, but failing to secure party nomination in 2024, he contested as an independent candidate and faced a defeat.
