Release of PBCP leader under investigation


An incident of releasing a leader of Janajuddho faction of the outlawed Purbo Banglar Communist Party (PBCP) is being investigated thoroughly.

Khalishpur police allegedly caught him on Monday and also released him on the same day due to unknown reason.

State Minister for Home Lutfuzzaman Babor became annoyed to know the news of releasing a notorious outlaw from Khalishpur police station (PS) hurriedly. A high official of Khulna Metropolitan Police (KMP) 'confirmed' the state minister about the incident.

The higher echelon of Bangladesh Police also learnt from an agency in Khulna that the outlawed party leader was released from Khalishpur PS for reasons best known to the concerned Officer-in-Charge (OC).

The name of the listed criminal, a permanent resident in an area under Sonadanga thana and a Khulna city-based leader of PBCP (Janajuddho) is also known to all police stations in Khulna city.

The police high command has directed the KMP authorities to re-arrest the outlaw and submit a report on what ground he was released from the police station.
