CID official Mesbah Uddin seeks pardon

Staff Correspondent: Inspector of Criminal Investigation Department (CID) Sheikh Mesbah Uddin has sought pardon before the High Court for his notice he issued calling a fish trader to his office without any specific case.

The CID official appeared before the HC bench of Justice Quazi Reza-Ul Hoque and Justice Mohammad Ullah on Sunday and sought clemency before the court. The court will give an order on the matter at noon.

On October 24, the High Court summoned the CID official to appear before it on November 5 to place his explanation over the notice he issued calling Abdus Samad Gazi from Sreeula village in Satkhira’s Ashashuni upazila.

The court also stayed the effectiveness of the notice sent by the CID inspector and issued a rule asking the respondents to explain in four weeks why initiating investigation against Samad without any case should not be declared illegal. 

Home secretary, inspector general of police, officer-in-charge of CID of Satkhira and its inspectors Mesbah Uddin and Mintu Chowdhury, who lodged a complaint with the CID office against Samad, were made respondents to the rule.
