A court has ordered the officer-in-charge of Narsingdi Police Station to consider the prayer as ezahar filed by one Iqbal Hossain, brother of slain Morshed Rana, who died under police custody.

After hearing, Chief Judicial Magistrate of Narsingdi Md Ataur Rahman yesterday ordered the officer-in-charge to consider the prayer as ezahar. Complainant Iqbal filed a petition case at the court of Chief Judicial Magistrate of Narsingdi on Thursday accusing OC S Alam, SI Motiar, SI Akbar, Altaf Hossain Swapan of Baniachal Moholla of the town, and his wife Fatema Begum.

The court ordered the OC of Narsingdi Police Station to consider the case as ezahar and informed the court about the matter.

It may be mentioned that Morshed Rana, an alleged car lifter, was killed in police custody on October 28. Subsequently Sub Inspector Motiar and Sub Inspector Akbar were temporarily suspended for their alleged involvement in torturing Rana, while OC S Alam was withdrawn by the higher authorities of police.

Meanwhile, Altaf Hossain Swapan and his wife Fatema Begum yesterday told the newsmen that a Honda of them was stolen. A case was filed accusing unnamed persons 18 days after the incident. Later, the case was dismissed in the final report. Later, the members of RAB-9 recovered the Honda from Kishoreganj. According to the confessional statements of Honda lifters, a case was filed against Morshed, which is now under trial. "I received the Honda from the court. Since Morshed Rana is our opponent, we have been involved in the case," Altaf Hossain said.
