Mostafizur Rahman Millat

Organising secretary of Khagra-chhari district BNP Mostafizur Rahman Millat was sent to jail yesterday when he surrendered to the court of Chief Judicial Magistrate here.

Sources at Khagrachhari Sadar police station said Millat, a wanted criminal, appeared before the court of Judicial Magistrate Abul Bashar Munshi at about 11 am.

The judge rejected his bail prayer and sent to jail.

Millat faces allegations of tender manipulation, murder and anti-social activities, done during five years' BNP rule.

But neither the district administration nor police took any action against him.

Though cases were filed against him, investigation officers dropped his name, many victims claimed.

Millat was allegedly involved in the murder of local Awami Leauge leader Nurul Islam. He was killed on November 9, 2006.

When asked, ASP Tareq Ahmed said Millat was on their arrest list. Police raided his house several times to nab him but he was absconding since the arrest of district BNP chief Wadud Bhiuyan on February 4 last year.
