According to the case document, yesterday, after Zuhr prayers on the court mosque's third floor, Rezaul discovered that his pair of black leather shoes was missing from the designated area.
Shortly after, a fellow worshipper noticed Sumon carrying two pairs of shoes in a plastic bag and brought him back to the third floor for questioning. Upon confrontation, the judge identified his stolen shoes.
The police were immediately informed, and upon arrival, they seized the stolen shoes and prepared a list of confiscated stolen shoes. The shoes were later handed over to the court's bench assistant, Mohammad Robiul Alam, OC Yasin said.
