A Dhaka court on Sunday directed the police to investigate the General Diary (GD) field against former state minister Dr Murad Hassan by his wife over attempted physical and mental violence.

Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Mamunur Rashid passed the order after holding hearing on an appeal by Sub-Inspector Razib Hasan of Dhanmondi police station and also investigation officer of the GD.

General Recording Officer (GRO) of the CMM court Sub-Inspector (SI) Fuad Uddin confirmed the matter to Dhaka Tribune. SI Razib Hassan filed the appeal on Saturday.

The same day, Dr Murad Hassan and his wife Dr Jahanara Ehsan handed over three firearms licensed under their names to Dhanmondi police station.

On January 6, Dr Jahanara lodged the GD with Dhanmondi police alleging that her husband was attempting to beat her up. 

After receiving the complaint, a team of police rushed to Murad’s Dhanmondi residence. However, Murad was not at home at the time.

Murad and Jahanara have been married for 19 years and are parents of two children. 

In the GD, Murad’s wife said that Murad had been hurling abusive words at her and their children for the last few days. She said that her husband had also been torturing them physically and mentally. He had also threatened to murder them, Jahanara added. 

The Jamalpur lawmaker came under huge criticism after making some derogatory remarks about BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia, acting chief Tarique Rahman and his daughter Zaima Rahman.

Meanwhile, a two-year-old phone conversation of the state minister with actor Mamnun Hasan Emon and actress Mahiya Mahi went viral on social media. In that audio clip, Murad was heard making some derogatory remarks against the actress.

In the wake of the incidents Murad resigned from the post of state minister for information and broadcasting last December, and also returned his red passport.

He was refused entry in at least two countries when he left Bangladesh. The refusals compelled him to return to Bangladesh.
