The Crime Desk: Former Information Minister and Jatiya Samajtantrik Dal (Jasad) President Hasanul Haque Inu has been arrested. Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) arrested him from Uttara in the capital on Monday.
Ziauddin Ahmed, Deputy Commissioner of Gulshan Zone, Intelligence Branch (DB) of Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP), confirmed the matter.
He said that there are cases against Inu in different police stations.
Hasanul Haque Inu is one of the most important leaders of the central 14-party political alliance led by the Awami League. Before this, on August 22, another important leader of the central 14 party, Bangladesh Workers Party President Rashed Khan Menon, was also arrested.
After the fall of the government, there have been several murder cases in the name of Sheikh Hasina and former ministers—state ministers and Awami League leaders—activists.
14 Party leader Rashed Khan Menon and Jatiya Samajtantrik Dal (Jasad) president Hasanul Haque Inu have also been charged with murder. Former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and her cabinet members have also been accused of genocide in the International Criminal Tribunal.
On Thursday, a case was filed against former Justice AHM Shamsuddin Chowdhury Manik, Jatiya Samajtantrik Dal (JSAD) President Hasanul Haque Inu, and Workers Party President Rashed Khan Menon for making adverse comments about the Zia family. The court directed the Police Bureau of Investigation (PBI) to investigate the case and submit a report.
In view of these cases, a notice signed by the office secretary of the party, Sajjad Hossain, on behalf of the Jasdar protested the filing of murder cases in the name of Central President Hasanul Haque Inu and Central Vice President Lokman Ahmed.
Jasad Central Committee stated in the circular that it very clearly and strongly wants to say that Hasanul Haque is a political party in the long bipolarized, divided politics in the country.
Meanwhile, despite being in a political pole position, he did not take any speech, statement, or position against this movement and the agitators from the beginning of the anti-discrimination student movement in quota reform.
