Photo: Collected A Cox's Bazar court on Wednesday sent Former Member of Parliament (MP) for Cox's Bazar-4 constituency, Abdur Rahman Bodi, to jail in connection with an attempted murder case. At around 3:30 PM on Wednesday, Bodi was presented before Cox's Bazar Judicial Magistrate's Court, following his arrest on Tuesday.
The presiding judge, Hamimun Tanzin, then delivered the order to land the accused to jail, according to lawyer Mohammad Shahin. "Bodi was sent to jail as the hearing on five-day remand request for Bodi, which was filed by Teknaf Police Station, could not take place as the application did not reach the court on time. The judge noted that the hearing would take place once the application is received," said the lawyer.
In the attempted murder case, Abdur Rahman Bodi, former Upazila Chairman Zafar Ahmed, Zafar’s son and former Chairman of Teknaf Sadar Union Parishad Shahjahan, along with 150 others, have been named as accused. Teknaf Police Station officer-in-charge Muhammad Osman Goni stated that upon learning that the prime accused, Bodi, was being presented in court, the investigating officer submitted a five-day remand plea. However, it could not take place as the application did not reach the court on time.
