DHAKA NEWS

Dhaka, Mar 25 The Dhaka Chief Metropolitan Magistrate's Court has dismissed a case filed by war crimes accused Salahddin Quader Chowdhury's son against two senior officials of the Kashimpur prisons for allegedly assaulting his brother.

In an order issued barely hours after the case was filed around Sunday noon, the court of Mizanur Rahman refused to accept the case on the grounds that the incident had taken place in an area outside his jurisdiction.

The court suggested the petitioner file the case in a Gazipur court as the incident had taken place in Kashimpur in the district.

Hummam Quader Chowdhury, son of Salauddin Quader, accused jailor Subhash Chandra Ghosh and deputy jailor Mushfiqur Rahman of beating his brother Faiyaz Quader Chowdhury during their visit to the prison on Saturday.

Hummam filed the case a day after the prisons officials had accused the sons of misbehaving with them.

The plaintiff's lawyer Kazi Mohammad Zainal Abedin told reporters that the accused duo had misbehaved with the two brothers on Saturday when they went to meet their father. At one stage, they beat Faiyaz, he alleged.

According to case details, even on earlier occasions prisons officials had demanded bribe when Hummam and Faiyaz had gone to see their father. On Saturday, the defendants beat the plaintiff's brother after failing to get bribe, he alleged. The plaintiff was present at the spot.

SQ Chowdhury's wife Farhat Quader Chowdhury, his brothers Saifuddin Quader Chowdhury and Jamaluddin Quader Chowdhury were there with Hummam and Faiyaz on Saturday.

Jailor Shubhash Chandra Ghosh told  on Saturday that his deputy Mushfiqur Rahman seized several 'unauthorised' papers when those were being handed to S Q Chowdhury by relatives.

Relatives of the BNP leader present there called the prison officials names and threatened him, Ghosh further said.

Salauddin Quader is currently standing trial at the International Crimes Tribunal for his alleged involvement with crimes against humanity during 1971 liberation war.
