Fakhrul among 500 BNP men sued over clash near HC

Shawdesh desk:

A case has been filed with Shahbagh Police Station against 500 BNP leaders and activists including its secretary general Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir over vandalism and attacks on police in front of the High Court on Tuesday.

Confirming the news, officer-in-charge (OC) of the police station Abul Hasan said the police filed the case on Tuesday night.

Some leaders and activists of BNP staged demonstration and sit-in programme in front of the HC on Tuesday afternoon demanding the release of party chief Khaleda Zia.

The protest caused a huge traffic congestion in the area and police asked the demonstrators to leave.

As the BNP men defied the police call, the law enforcers baton-charged them and lobbed tear gas canisters to disperse them.

At one stage of demonstration, a chase and counter chase took place between the BNP men and police. The protesters damaged several vehicles in the area.
