An army officer has filed a general diary against Zafrullah Chowdhury, the leader of a professional group supporting the BNP, over 'false, targeted and treasonous' remarks he made about the army chief in a TV programme, reports bdnews24.com.
Dhaka Metropolitan Detective Branch Police (South) has been appointed to investigate the matter after approvals from the court and the ministry, DMP Deputy Commissioner Md Masudur Rahman said.
Dhaka Cantonment Police Station Inspector Kabir Hossain Howladar said Major M Raqibul Alam, who is currently assigned to the army headquarters, came to the station and filed a GD against Ganoshasthaya Kendra trustee board member Zafrullah Chowdhury on Friday.
"The night before the verdict in the important case over the Aug 21 grenade attack, he made a sudden and irrelevant remark on the chief of the military in a targeted plot motivated by hate in an attempt to stir unrest among the armed forces, which is equivalent to sedition."
"Why and at whose bidding a highly educated person like Dr Zafrullah Chowdhury made such targeted, fabricated and false statements on a talk show is a matter that deserves to be investigated."
