A complaint was filed with a Dhaka court today against the chief of Detective Branch of Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP), Harun Or Rashid, and nine others over “vandalising” BNP’s Nayapaltan central office on December 7, 2022.

Nazim Uddin, a member of BNP’s executive committee, lodged the complaint with the court of Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Rajesh Chowdhury (CMM).

The court also recorded the statement of the plaintiff, said Nazim’s lawyer Masud Ahmed Talukdar.

However, the court has not given any order yet over accepting the case, said Arman Hossain, bench assistant of that court.

On December 7 last year, a Swechchasebak Dal leader was killed and around 50 others were injured in a clash between BNP activists and police in front of the party’s Nayapaltan central office, ahead of its December 10 rally.

Police arrested 470 BNP activists and leaders in connection with the clash and they were sued in two cases filed with Paltan and Motijheel police stations.
