COX'S BAZAR, Aug 21: The Cox's Bazar court has sent Abdur Rahman Bodi, former lawmaker of Cox's Bazar-4, to jail in a case of attempted murder as the investigating officer failed to submit a remand prayer in due time.

Judge Hamimun Tanzin of the Judicial Magistrate's Court of Cox's Bazar passed the order on Wednesday, according to lawyer Mohammad Shaheen.

On Monday, Finance Secretary of Cox's Bazar District unit of BNP Mohammad Abdullah, his brother, the chairman of Teknaf Sadar Union Parishad, Ziaur Rahman Jihad, and another brother, Abdur Rahman, filed three separate cases as plaintiffs, said Muhammad Osman Gani, officer-in-charge of Teknaf thana.

On August 05, miscreants vandalised, and looted and attempted to commit murder in three facilities: Ali Ullah Alo Shopping Complex, Hotel Naf Queen, and Abdullah Brothers Filling and Gas Station owned by the family of the BNP leader family in Teknaf, according to the cases filed by the three brothers.

More than 150 people, including former lawmaker Bodi, former upazila chairman Zafar Ahmed, Zafar's son and former chairman of Teknaf Sadar Union, Shahjahan, were named in the case.

The RAB members arrested Bodi from Chittagong city on Tuesday. The much-discussed former MP of the border is known as the kingpin of drug and human trafficking.
