A Dhaka court has ordered the imprisonment of AKM Sarwar Jahan Badsha, former Member of Parliament from Kushtia-1, in connection with the murder case of electrician Md. Ilias Hossain in Mohammadpur. The order was issued on Wednesday (April 18) by Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Md. Minhazur Rahman.
The investigating officer of the case, Sub-Inspector Md. Akkel Ali of Mohammadpur Police Station, presented the accused in court and requested his detention. The defense lawyer, Abdul Matin, applied for bail, but the hearing was not held due to the absence of the case’s main documents. Subsequently, the judge ordered the accused to be sent to jail.
According to police sources, Sarwar Jahan was arrested from the Mohammadpur area of the capital on June 17. The case details reveal that on August 4, during the July movement, Md. Ilias Hossain participated in a protest. That evening, he was injured by gunfire allegedly fired by the accused near Allahar Karim Mosque. He was admitted to a hospital but succumbed to his injuries on August 9. Following this, the victim’s father filed a murder case at Mohammadpur Police Station on September 28
