Dipok Roy, Rangpur Correspondent : A court has remanded Hasan Ali, a police constable, in custody for four days in connection with the beating to death of a disabled rickshaw puller named Nazmul Islam in Rangpur.  Judge Al Mehboob of the Rangpur city’s Tajhat Thana Amli Court on Wednesday granted the police constable a four-day remand application for questioning.

Sources in the case said that Nazmul Islam, a rickshaw puller from Mustafi area of ​​Lalmonirhat district, lived in a rented house at Asratpur Eidgahpara in Rangpur city.  Nazmul used to rent a battery-powered rickshaw belonging to Hasan Ali, a policeman working at the Rangpur Police Training Center, due to foot problems.  When a dispute broke out over the rickshaw on Tuesday, December 22, Nazmul was severely beaten by Constable Hasan Ali.  At one stage, realizing the situation was alarming, Hasan took Nazmul to a rented house in Kortpara in the city.  The next day, on Wednesday, when locals saw Nazmul’s hanging body in the rented house where Hasan was staying, they started protesting.  Later, additional police took control of the situation, broke down the door of the house, recovered Nazmul’s body and arrested Hasan Ali and his wife Sathi Begum and took them to the police station.  Locals alleged that Hasan had beaten Nazmul to death and hanged himself.

Akhtaruzzaman Pradhan, acting OC of Rangpur Metropolitan Police’s Tajhat police station, said Nazmul’s body was found hanging from the house.  A case of incitement to suicide was initially registered on the basis of the allegations filed by Nazmul’s wife Shyamoli Begum.  If the autopsy report of the body finds involvement in the murder, a murder case will be registered against the accused.

The investigating officer of the case, Sub-Inspector (SI) of Tajhat Police Station Ashraful Islam, produced the accused Hasan Ali in court on Thursday, December 24 and applied for a five-day remand.  On the same day, the judge ordered to send him to jail and fixed Wednesday for hearing of remand application.  The court granted a four-day remand after a hearing on Wednesday.  The court also directed Hasan’s wife Sathi Begum to be interrogated at the jail gate for two working days.  Court Inspector Nazmul Quader confirmed the matter.
