A Dhaka court yesterday accepted the charge sheet against Awami League lawmaker Pinu Khan’s son Bakhtiar Alam Rony in a case filed over the killing of two people in Dhaka’s Dilu Road.
After accepting the charges, Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Md Aminul Haque sent the case documents to Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Sheikh Hafizur Rahman for the next course of action.
On July 21, DB Sub-Inspector Dipak Kumar Das, also investigation officer of the case, submitted the charge sheet in the court under section 302 of the penal code. A total 37 people have been made prosecution witnesses, said the investigation officer.
According to the charge sheet, Rony, while in a drunken stupor, indiscriminately fired gunshots from his car near Dilu Road on April 13, leaving two people — rickshaw-puller Abdul Hakim and daily Janakantha’s auto-rickshaw driver Yakub — injured.
Hakim succumbed to his injuries at Dhaka Medical College Hospital on April 15 while Yakub died on April 23.
