Lawmaker Hazi Salim’s son Irfan jailed for one year

DHAKA, Oct 26, 2020 (BSS) – A RAB mobile court sentenced lawmaker
Hazi Salim’s son Irfan Salim, also councilor of Dhaka South City
Corporation (DCC) ward No-30, and body guard Mohammad Jahid Hossain to
one year for possessing illegal liquor and walkie-talkies.

Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) Legal and media wing director
Lieutenant Colonel Ashik Billah told BSS that RAB’s Executive
Magistrate Sarwar Alam passed the order this evening.

Earlier, the elite force conducted a raid at the Lalbag house of
Hazi Salim, MP, of Dhaka-7 constituency, and arrested his son Irfan
Salim, 37, and body guard Mohammad Jahid Hossain, 35, in connection
with a case filed with Dhanmondi police station.

Lieutenant Wasif Ahmed Khan of Bangladesh Navy filed a case against
seven people, including Irfan Salim and his father’s bodyguard and
five others, accusing them of assaulting him and his wife last
evening.

The navy officer was allegedly assaulted by a group of people, led
by Irfan Salim, near Kalabagan crossing under Dhanmondi police station
last evening after the car owned by lawmaker Hazi Salim hit his (navy
officer’s) motorbike.

Lieutenant Wasif, in his complainant, said the car first hit the
motorcycle while he was returning home with his wife after purchasing
some books. As he tried to protest the incident some people got down
from the car, assaulted him and knocked out his one tooth.

Later, the assaulters escaped the scene leaving the car behind as
people started to gather around.

Police last night arrested the driver Mizan who is on one-day police
remand while RAB arrested Hazi Salim’s son Irfan this noon.

During seven-hour raid at Hazi Salim’s residence, the RAB recovered
an illegal firearm, 5-6 liters of wine, 400 pieces of yaba, 36 to 40
sets of walkie-talkies and a handcuff from them, Lit Ashique added.
