Panchagarh Correspondent:
A Panchagarh court on Tuesday sent former Panchagarh-1 lawmaker Naimuzzaman Bhuiyan Mukta to jail in a case over the disappearance and killing of rickshaw-puller Al Amin.
Mukta, vice-president of the Panchagarh district unit of the banned Awami League, was produced before the court in the morning. Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate Mosharraf Hossain ordered him to jail.
He remained in court custody, but there was no direct hearing in the case on Tuesday. It was not immediately known whether police would seek his remand.
Rickshaw-puller Al Amin went missing after taking part in the mass uprising in Panchagarh on 5 August 2024.
His father, Monu Mia, filed a case with Panchagarh Sadar Police Station on 10 September over his alleged disappearance and killing, naming 19 people, including Mukta, and another 150 unidentified people as accused.
Mukta faces 12 cases, including the case over Al Amin’s disappearance and killing during the July uprising and cases over vandalism and arson at a BNP office.
Panchagarh Sadar Police Station Inspector (Investigation) Ashish Kumar Shil confirmed Mukta’s arrest and said the court sent the former lawmaker to jail after he was produced before it.
