A Dhaka court on Friday placed former officer in-charge of Gulshan police station Md Rafiqul Islam on a four-day remand in a case lodged over parking of five sand-laden trucks to block the road leading to the house of Bangladesh Nationalist Party chairperson Khaleda Zia in Gulshan in 2013.
Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Begum Afnan Somi passed the order as the police produced Rafiqul, presently additional superintendant of police with DMP鈥檚 Gulshan zone, before the court and pleaded to place him on a five-day remand.
The police, after taking permission from the home affairs, arrested Md Rafiqul Islam on October 17.
Jatiyatabadi Krishak Dal leader Md Shariful Islam filed the case at Gulshan police station on October 4.
According to the case documents, the then Awami League government with the goal of retaining power, conspired to hold an election under its own government in 2014. In protest of the Awami League鈥檚 conspiracy, BNP on December 29, 2013, declared 鈥楳arch for Democracy鈥� programme.
The police at the time, in order to stop the BNP chairperson from joining the march, parked five sand-laden trucks to block entries to the road leading to her Gulshan house.
