Mahmudur Rahman in court

Former Acting Editor of Amar Desh Patrika Mahmudur Rahman reached the court to surrender in the case of kidnapping and attempted murder of Sajib Wazed Joy.

He reached the Chief Metropolitan Magistrate’s Court of Dhaka at around 10:30 am on Sunday.

Earlier, his lawyer Advocate Masud Ahmed Talukder told the media that 127 false and harassing cases have been filed against Mahmudur Rahman so far. In the meantime, Mahmudur Rahman, acting editor of Daily Amar Desh newspaper, was sentenced to seven years in the case of conspiracy to kidnap and kill Sajib Wazed Joy, the son of fugitive Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and his unpaid information and communication technology advisor. Mahmudur Rahman came to the court to surrender in that case.

Advocate Mejbah said that he will surrender in the Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Court of Dhaka. We will seek bail on appeal in this case. I will appeal to the Metropolitan Sessions Judge Court.

The lawyer said that he may have to go to jail as the concerned court does not have jurisdiction to grant bail according to the term of the sentence. An application will also be made that he be given a division in the jail. Mahmudur Rahman served as an advisor at the rank of State Minister. According to law he will get division in jail.

Advocate Mejbah said that Mahmudur Rahman was sentenced on false and baseless charges. A farce was made in the name of speedy trial against Mahmudur Rahman in the judicial process in question. The role of the judge who announced the verdict was also questionable. We have been deprived of justice.

It is to be noted that after being in exile for six years, Mazlum editor Mahmudur Rahman returned to the country on Friday.
