Hasina, 12 sued over intrusion into Bobby Hajjaj’s residence

A case has been filed against ousted prime minister Sheikh Hasina and 12 others for intrusion of the Gulshan residence of National Democratic Movement (NDM) Chairman Bobby Hajjaj in a bid to kill him.

Jabedur Rahman Jony, office secretary of the NDM, on behalf of Bobby Hajjaj filed the case with Gulshan Police today (7 September).

Sub-Inspector (SI) Moktar Hossain, general recording office (GRO) of Gulshan Police Station, told BSS that a first information report (FIR) was submitted to the court of Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate (ACMM) Ziadur Rahman today in this regard. 

The court instructed the officer-in-charge of Gulshan Police Station to submit a report on this issue on 9 October, the GRO said.

The other accused of the case are former home minister Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal, former road and bridges minister Obaidul Quader, former education minister Mohibul Hassan Chowdhury, former jute and textile minister Jahangir Kabir Nanok, former state minister for information and broadcasting Mohammad A Arafat, controversial businessman Safiul Alam alias S Alam, former general secretary of banned Bangladesh Chhatra League (BCL) Siddiqui Nazmul Alam, its president of Dhaka City north Reaz Mahmud, vice-president Mostafa Al Nafiz, general secretary Sagor Ahmed, activist Md Nur and an Awami League (AL) worker Shamim.

According to the FIR, the accused have been hatching conspiracy against the anti-fascist leaders including NDM Chairman Bobby Hajjaj and other front ranking warriors who fought against Sheikh Hasina's government for long time. 

Bobby Hajjaj filed a case with the International Crimes Tribunal (ICT)-1 last year demanding trial of AL and its 14-party alliance leaders.

He also filed a writ petition with the High Court seeking an instruction to the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) to investigate into corruption against Tulip Siddiq and other members of the Sheikh family in connection with Ruppur Power Plant project. 

He has been continuously demanding the trial of Sheikh Hasina on the street movement and television talk shows since the fall of Awami League government. 

For these reasons, Sheikh Hasina and Mohibul Hassan Chowdhury passed derogatory comments against Bobby Hajjaj through Facebook, said the case. 

The complainant also mentioned in the FIR that businessman Saiful Alam has given huge money to destabilise Bangladesh and Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal, Jahangir Kabir Nanok and Mohammad A Arafat have been coordinating to kill the front ranking July warriors. 

As part of this conspiracy, Mostafa Al Nafiz and Md Nur entered into the Gulshan residence of Bobby Hajjaj on 6 September with the intention to kill him.  

The guards of the house caught accused Nur for his suspicious movement who later confessed that Sheikh Hasina has directly instructed Mostafa Al Nafiz to kill Bobby Hajjaj by stabbing or throwing bombs to his car at any convenient time.

Businessman S Alam has invested huge money to carry out this plan, he added.
