Dipak Kumar Das, a sub-inspector of the Detective Branch of police and also the investigating officer (IO) of the case, submitted two separate charge sheets to Chief Met
ropolitan Magistrate's Court, Dhaka yesterday. The IO claimed that he found "evidences of the charges" against the accused BNP men and prayed for bringing them under trial. One of the charge sheets accuses the BNP leaders of assaulting police, torching vehicles and preventing them from discharging their duties and the other for hurling cocktails at the police on March 2 last year. Police filed the case against the 41 BNP men and 1,200 unknown persons accusing them of obstructing law enforcers from discharging their duties, attempting to kill them and hurling crude bombs to create panic in front of Viqarunnisa Noon School and College in Bailey Road of the capital on March 2, 2013 during the BNP-led opposition's street agitation programme. The case was lodged the same day against the accused with Ramna Police Station. The IO prayed for dropping names of Khandaker Mahbub Hossain, vice-chairman of Bangladesh Bar Council, and 20 others as their involvement with the incident was not found during the investigation.
