Bangladesh: HC rules for forming commission to probe allegations against police

The High Court (HC) today issued a rule
asking authorities concerned to explain in three weeks as to why it shall not
pass order to form a commission to probe different allegations against police
and other law enforcing agencies.

A High Court division bench comprising Justice Md Mozibur Rahman Miah
and Justice Md Kamrul Hossain Mollah passed the order after holding a hearing
on a writ filed in this regard.

The court asked law and home affairs secretaries and inspector general
of police to reply the rule within three weeks.

Advocate Mohammad Shishir Manir moved the plea before the court, while
Attorney General AM Amin Uddin stood for the state.

More than a hundred lawyers of the Supreme Court filed the writ on
February 28 and the court on November 23 held hearing on the matter.
