CHITTAGONG NEWS

A Chittagong court on Friday denied bail to sacked Lt Col Zulfiqar Ali Majumder, the former commanding officer of Rab-7, in a robbery case and sent him to jail.

Judicial Magistrate Abu Salem Mohammad Noman passed the order following a bail petition filed by Zulfiqar’s lawyer Iftekhar Samiul Chowdhury saying that the name of his client was not in the first information report (FIR) of the case.

The court also fixed May 7 for hearing a remand prayer of Zulfiqar as police did not bring necessary documents of the case to it.

Earlier, Inspector Abdus Samad of Anwara Police Station, also the investigation officer of the case, produced Zulfiqar before the court at 3:50pm with a seven-day remand prayer.

Police early Thursday arrested Zulfiqar for his alleged involvement in robbing Tk 2.07 crore from a shrine in Chittagong six months ago.

He was picked up from one of his relatives' house on Daktarer Goli in the capital's Moghbazar area around 4:00am on Thursday, said police.

He went into hiding after Bangladesh Army fired him on Monday.
