Six put on remand in metro rail station vandalizing case
A court here has placed six people including a journalist on a five-day remand each in a case lodged for vandalizing Kazipara Metro Rail Station in the capital's Mirpur.
The six remanded accused are journalist Hafiz Al Asad alias Sayeed Khan, Sanaul Haque Niru, Alamgir, Mohiuddin Ahmed Bhuiyan alias Nayeem, Abdul Aziz Sultan and Mayeen.
Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Arobia Khanam passed the order as police produced the accused before the court and pleaded to place them on a 10-day remand each, reports BSS.
According to the case documents, a mob of five to six thousand people ransacked Kazipara Metro Rail Station from 4 pm to 7.30 pm on July 19. They plundered expensive equipment and broke all the glasses, screens, and ticket vending machines, among other things.
The investigation officer in his remand plea said the station suffered a loss of around Taka 100 crore by the vandals and the arrestees took part in the anarchy as per their conspiracy to destabilize and ultimately topple the government.
