Bureau Chief, Feni

Mohammad Tejhan, education and study circle affairs secretary of Ward No. 1 (Shibpur) of Fazilpur Chhatra League in Feni, is an accused in the attempted murder case of CNG driver Abdur Rob during the anti-discrimination student movement in Senbagh. He has been absconding since the incident. On May 10, Feni Thana Police detained Sonagazi Government College student Fakhruddin Ahmed, naming him as an accused in the same case. On May 20, in a message sent to the media, Fakhruddin’s father appealed to the concerned court and police administration to reconsider the matter, considering his son’s future.

It has been learned that Feni Sadar Thana Police detained Fakhruddin Ahmed while searching for Tejhan, the education and study circle affairs secretary of Ward No. 1 of Fazilpur Chhatra League. Fakhruddin is the son of Zahir Uddin Haider from Shibpur village, Ward No. 1 of Fazilpur Union, and a student of Sonagazi Government College.

In a message sent to the media, Fakhruddin’s father, Zahir Uddin Haider, strongly demanded bail and exemption from the case for his son, considering his academic future.

He said, “My son Fakhruddin is only 17 years old. He doesn’t even have a national ID card yet. He recently passed SSC and got admitted to Sonagazi Government College. So far, he hasn’t joined any political party. The police arrested him by showing the post of Tejhan, the education and study circle affairs secretary of Ward No. 1 of Fazilpur Chhatra League.”

“My son is not part of any Chhatra League committee, and there are no cases against him. While searching for Chhatra League leader Tejhan, the police detained my college-going son.”

Fakhruddin’s father strongly urged the concerned court and police administration to reconsider the matter.

Feni Model Thana OC Shamsuzzaman said, “The arrested Fakhruddin was present with the attackers during the student movement in Mahipal. His photos have been found with many accused in the cases filed on August 4. He has been shown as a suspect in the attempted murder case filed by injured CNG driver Abdur Rob during the anti-discrimination student movement and was sent to court on May 10.”
