The case was filed over injuries sustained by
Mamun, 25, in Jatrabari of the capital.
Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Sarah Farzana Haque
passed the order, confirmed state counsel Muhammad Shamsuddoha Sumon.
Earlier, on September 30, the investigation
officer of the case, Sub-Inspector Awlad Hossain of Jatrabari Police Station,
filed a petition seeking to show the two accused arrested in the case.
According to the petition, Anisul and Palak are
currently in jail after being shown arrested in another murder case. It alleged
that they had played active roles in support of the Awami League government
during its crackdown on the anti-discrimination student movement in 2024.
The petition also stated that investigators had
found preliminary evidence suggesting their involvement in the case and that
showing them arrested was necessary for a fair and impartial investigation.
At the hearing, defence lawyers, including
Farzana Yasmin Rakhi, opposed the petition. State counsel Shamsuddoha Sumon
argued in favour of it. After hearing both sides, the court passed the order.
According to the case statement, Mamun's friends
Hossain, Khokon and Arif, along with others, joined the anti-discrimination
student movement in Jatrabari from 9:00am on July 18, 2024.
Around 3:00pm that day, protesters were positioned
on the flyover in front of Jatrabari Police Station when gunfire was allegedly
directed at them.
Mamun sustained bullet injuries to different
parts of his body, including his left eye and head, the complaint said.
He was initially taken to Kajla Islamia Hospital
in Jatrabari for treatment. After receiving primary care, he was admitted to
Dhaka Medical College Hospital.
After three days of treatment, his left eye
deteriorated, and he was transferred to the National Institute of
Ophthalmology. His left eye was eventually rendered completely non-functional
during treatment, according to the case statement.
Police arrested Anisul Huq from the Sadarghat
area of Dhaka on August 13, 2024. He was subsequently shown arrested in a
murder case filed with New Market Police Station. He has remained in custody in
connection with various cases since then.
Palak was arrested on August 15, 2024, from the
Nikunja residential area under Khilkhet Police Station, where he was allegedly
in hiding. Police showed him arrested in a case filed with Paltan Police
Station. He has also remained in custody since then.
The latest court order relates to the attempted murder case over the injuries that left the bus driver blind in his left eye.
