DHAKA, Sept 07, 2023 (BSS) - A court here today sent three people, including
Barrister Fakhrul Islam, convicted in a case for leaking draft verdict in the
war crimes trial against his client Salauddin Quader Chowdhury, in a burglary
case.

The other two accused are-- Mohammad Bashir and Ismail Hossain.

Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Ali Haider passed the order as police produced
the trio before the court and pleaded to place them on seven-day remand each.
Defence in the case, however, argued for their bail.

After hearing both the sides, the court sent the three accused to jail.

One SM Mohibullah Mohiuddin filed the case against them for illegal entry,
physical assault, burglary and aiding in crimes, with Dhanmandi Police
Station on September 6.

According to the case documents, the plaintiff was running a pharmacy beside
Gonoshasthaya Kendra Hospital. But recently after the death of Gonoshasthaya
Kendra founder Dr Zafrullah Chowdhury, a vested quarter was trying to grab
his business.

"On July 9, 2023, Barrister Fakhrul and other accused broke into his pharmacy
and looted Taka 11 lakh in cash and medicines worth Taka two crore from
there," the complainant said.
