UP chairman, son held for torturing Ctg AL leader

Chattogram police arrested Haidgaon Union Parishad Chairman BM Jashim and his son Mushfique Uddin from their Haidgaon residence in Patiya early Saturday for beating a local Awami League leader tying up with a tree.

Rashedul Islam, Officer-in-Charge (Investigation) of Patiya Police Station told BSS that a team of police raided Jashim’s residence at Haidgaon and arrested them on early Saturday. “Police have been trying to arrest the other people involved with the incident,” he said.

Jiten Kanti Guha, former senior Vice President of Haidgaon Union Awami League, was tied with a tree by rope beside the road on Friday afternoon and beat up him severely. Earlier on April 29, Jashim and his associates allegedly tortured Jiten Kanti Guho, Vice President of Haidgaon Union AL as his name was not put on the banner of the Union AL’s Iftar party held at Gauchia Community Centre.

They tortured Jiten reportedly after tying up his hands around a tree, in broad daylight.
