A Narayanganj court has dismissed the case filed by BNP Senior Joint Secretary General Ruhul Kabir Rizvi on Sunday in connection with the recent BNP-police clash in Narayanganj, which left a Jubo Dal activist dead.
The case was filed against police officers in the court of Senior Judicial Magistrate Imran Mollah of Narayanganj Judge Court at around 11am.
Superintendent of Police (SP) of Narayanganj district Golam Mostafa Russell along with 42 policemen and constables have been made accused in the case, said Narayanganj Court Police Inspector Asaduzzaman.
The BNP senior leader said according to the constitution BNP has the right the hold rallies and assemblies.
However, he added, this “one-party state” does not want to give anyone the democratic right.
“The final example of that took place on September 1 (Thursday),” he noted.
The main accused in the case, SI Mahfuzur Rahman Kanak, was reportedly seen in a photo with a Chinese rifle during the firing.
On Thursday, BNP supporters brought out a procession in the afternoon to celebrate the party's founding anniversary.
The procession was barred by police when it reached the second rail gate area and a clash erupted.
Police claimed that the BNP did not take permission before observing the program on the street.
On Saturday, police filed a case against 71 people over the clash.
Earlier on Friday, the victim - Shawon's elder brother Milan Prodhan filed a murder case against 5,000 unidentified people including BNP activists at Narayanganj Sadar Model police station.
However, the autopsy report states that Shawon was shot in the chest, but no bullet was found.
