Tuesday, 13 September 2022
Babul Akter, a former superintendent of police suspected of masterminding the murder of his wife Mahmuda Akter Mitu, has appealed to the court seeking the safety for his life after he alleged that his cell at a Feni jail was searched illegally, reports bdnews24.com.
His lawyer Golam Mawla Murad filed the petition with Chattogram Metropolitan Sessions Judge Jebunnessa Begum on Monday.
The court will make a decision on the complaint on September 19.
"Babul Akter previously moved a court to file a case against six police officers, including the chief of the Police Bureau of Investigation (PBI), for torturing him to extract a confession over his wife's murder on Thursday," lawyer Murad said.
"Following the instructions and under the influence of the suspects named in that case, Feni Model Police Station chief Nizam Uddin conducted a search after entering Babul's jail cell for a long time on Sept 10," he added, citing the complaint.
