Case filed against BNP leader Amir Khasru

Staff Correspondent, Chattogram: A case has been filed with Chattogram Kotwali Police Station against BNP Standing Committee Member Amir Khasru Mahmud Chowdhury on charge of instigating sabotage and hatching a conspiracy to make the country unstable.

Jakaria Dastagir, general secretary of Chittagong Metropolitan unit of Bangladesh Chhatra League (BCL), filed the case on Saturday night.

The case was filed under Section 57 (2) of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) Act and Section 15 (3) of Special Power Act last night.

Md Mohsin, officer-in-charge (OC) of Chattogram Kotwali Police Station, confirmed this to risingbd.com.

Earlier last night, a phone conversation allegedly between Khasru and a  BNP activist was leaked, in which the BNP leader was heard giving instruction to infiltrate the ongoing nationwide student protests demanding safe roads with the party men.

In the case statement, the plaintiff said Amir Khasru was hatching a conspiracy to make the country unstable and instigate anarchy by carrying out subversive activities as he was heard giving instruction through an electronic device in this regard.

Angered by the deaths of two college students in a tragic road accident on Airport Road in the capital on July 29, students of schools and colleges across the country took to the streets and continued their demonstration for seven days demanding 9-point demands, including road safety.
