Charge Sheet against ex-SP Babul others: Court order May 11

Babul Akter ex-Superintendent of police

The Chief Metropolitan Magistrate (CMM) Court of Dhaka on Thursday set May 11 to pass its order on whether to accept the charge-sheet filed against former Superintendent of Police (SP) Babul Akter and three others in a case filed by the Police Bureau of Investigation (PBI) Chief under the Digital Security Act (DSA).

Earlier, Thursday was fixed for passing the order, but Metropolitan Magistrate Asheq Imam deferred the date as the case documents did not reach the court.

Investigation Officer (IO) and Dhanmandi Police Station Inspector (Operation) submitted the charge-sheet of the case against ex-SP Babul Akter, Babul’s father Md Abdul Wadud, 72, brother Md Habibur Rahman Labu, 45, and expatriate YouTuber Elias Hossain on April 7.

PBI Chief Banaj Kumar Majumder filed the case under the Digital Security Act and Special Powers Act with capital's Dhanmandi Police Station on September 27, last year. The PBI Chief in his case brought allegations of spreading false and untrue information to tarnish his and the police unit’s image against the four accused. - Special Correspondent
