MP Amanur Rahman Khan Rana
A Tangail court on Wednesday framed charges against Awami League MP Amanur Rahman Khan Rana and 13 others in the case relating to murder of freedom fighter Faruk Ahmed.
First additional district and session judge Abul Munsur Miah framed the charges in presence of MP Rana around 11:30am.
MP Rana was brought from Kashimpur Central Jail in a prison van and produced before the first additional district and sessions judge’s court.
Earlier, on August 23, the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court directed the prison authorities to produce MP Rana at the next hearing of the trial court in Tangail.
A three-judge bench chaired by Chief Justice SK Sinha adjourned until October 15, hearing the petition of the accused seeking bail.
On February 3, 2016, the police pressed the charges against Amanur Rahman and 13 others including his three brothers in the murder case.
Faruk, then the publicity secretary of Tangail district Awami League, was shot dead and his body was left in front of his house in Tangail town on January 18, 2013.
Three days later, Faruk’s wife Nahar Ahmed filed a case with Tangail model police station.
Amanur Rahman was sent to jail custody on September 18, 2016 after he surrendered to a Tangail court after remaining absconding.
