A court here on Friday sent Trinamool BNP Chairman Shamsher Mobin Chowdhury to jail in a case lodged over murder of Jubo Dal leader Shamim in 2023.
Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Begum Afnan Somi passed the order, as police produced Chowdhury before the court and pleaded to keep him behind the bars till the end of probe.
Shamsher Mobin Chowdhury was arrested from the city’s Banani DOHS area on Thursday.
According to the case documents, BNP called a grand rally on October 28, 2023. To foil the programme, Awami League too called its own grand rally in the capital. At one stage, Awami League goons, with the help of police, attacked the BNP's rally in Nayapaltan, killing Shamim on the spot.
The case was filed with the capital's Paltan Police Station on September 24, 2024.
