Misbehaving with magistrate

Superintendant of Police (SP) of Kushtia SP SM Tanvir Arafat has offered unconditional apology to the High Court for allegedly misbehaving with a senior judicial magistrate Md Mohsin Hasan during Bheramara municipality election.

Tanvir Arafat appeared before a High Court virtual bench of Justice Mamnoon Rahman and Justice Khizir Hayat and offered his apology in writing through his lawyer.

The court gave exemption to the police official from personal appearance and set February 17 for further hearing on the matter.

Md Munsurul Hoque Chowdhury, counsel of SP SM Tanvir Arafat, told the court that the SP couldn’t recognize senior judicial magistrate Md Mohsin Hasan and made the mistake. He would be more careful in future while conducting his duty.
