Cricketer Shahadat on 3-day remand

Shahadat-hossain

A Dhaka metropolitan magistrate court on Thursday placed national team cricketer Kazi Shahadat Hossain alias Rajib, on 3-day police interrogation in a case filed for torturing his domestic help.
Metropolitan magistrate Yusuf Hossain passed the order following a seven-day remand petition submitted by the investigation officer, Md Shafiqur Rahman, officer-in-charge (investigation) of Mirpur police station on Tuesday.
Metropolitan magistrate Md Nuru Mia set today for hearing on the plea.
Police produced the pacer before the court today from jail.
Shahadat, who was on the run since the injured 11-year-old domestic help was rescued, surrendered before a Dhaka court on Monday, a day after his wife was arrested, and sought bail in the case.
Police arrested his wife Jasmin Jahan Nitto from one of her relatives’ house at Malibagh in the capital early Sunday.
Dhaka metropolitan magistrate Md Yunus Khan on Sunday allowed police to interrogate Nitto at jail gate for three days within five working days, rejecting both the bail and five-day remand prayer for her.
On September 6, cricketer Shahadat and his wife were sued for torturing their housemaid Mahfuza Akter Happy at their Mirpur residence in the capital.
Journalist Khandaker Mozammel Hossain had filed the case with Mirpur police station under Section 4 (2) of the Women and Children Repression Prevention Act 2000.
According to the case statement, plaintiff Mozammel found the 11-year-old with marks of injury on her face and bruises across her body at Pallabi Journalist Colony area on September 6.
He was then told by the victim that Shahadat and Nitto had been torturing her since she began work at their house around a year ago.
As she could not endure such torture any more, she fled from the residence of Shahadat that morning. Mozammel then took her to the police station and filed the case against the couple.
