Former state minister for information and broadcasting, Murad Hassan's Wife Dr Jahanara Ehsan has filed a general diary (GD) against him, alleging torture and abuse.
Dr Jahanara lodged the GD with Dhanmondi Police Station today, Sub-Inspector Ansar Ali told reporters.
Dr Jahanara called the emergency number 999 and sought police assistance, saying her husband, Murad Hassan, was about to beat her up, SI Ansar said.
Receiving the phone call, a 10-member team of Dhanmondi police rushed to Murad's house at Dhanmondi Road 15 in Dhaka.
In the GD, Dr Jahanara said she married to Murad for 19 years ago and they have two children in their family.
"Recently, he [Murad], has been torturing me physically and mentally. He has been using abusive language on me and the children, and also threatened to kill me. Around 2:45pm, when he was about to beat me up again, I called 999," she mentioned in the GD.
Dr Jahanara said Murad left his Dhanmondi house 30 minutes before the police reached there.
Earlier on December 7, Dr Murad Hasan resigned from the cabinet after Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina asked him to step down for his offensive and derogatory remarks on women that sparked waves of criticism.
