SI Morshed takes bribe for cutting name from case

SI Morshed Alam of Jatrabari Police Station took money from Md Russel Mia to withdraw the name from a political case after the regime change.

Md Russell Mia (38), an inhabitant of Darga Road, Rayerbagh, Jatrabari, Dhaka, is engaged in residential and contracting business. He alleged source identity of SI Morshed Alam of Jatrabari Police Station, Ashraful Alam Babu, son of freedom fighter Mafuz, of Rajnigandhya Road, North Jatrabari, Dhaka, is known to me by coming to my residence.

He informed the people, landlords, and tenants that there is a murder case against me at Jatrabari police station, and the police are searching for me.

When I spoke to SI Morshed Alam, he claimed that he is the defendant in that case. Through a senior brother of my acquaintance, the defendant asked me to meet him at Pretty Makeover Studio and saloon run by his wife, Mehnaz Tabassum Smriti.

Later on February 18 this year, I came to the spa center according to the defendant and saw that the source identity Ashraful Alam Babu, Sani (journalist identity of Deshbarta), along with another named accused of Jatrabari police station case no. 45 (11) 24, were present during the conversation.

The source of the defendant put the Jatrabari police case 48(10)24 statement paper in his hand and showed my name on it. Later, the defendant demanded Tk Ten lakh from me to withdraw his name from the said case and allow me to avoid arrest.

Later, one week after this, at approximately 12.0 noon, sitting at Sumon‍‍`s computer shop at No. 2 Bibir Bagicha, I paid Tk 2 lakh in cash to his source Ashraful Alam Babu and talked about a one-month time to pay the due amount. 

After that, I paid a total of Tk 10 lakh in the hands of the defendant and his nominees at different places, including in front of Bismillah Hotel, Dania College, Jatrabari intersection, along with the previous Tk 2 lakh at different times.

Russel Mia said, SI Morshed Alam, a fascist officer who was appointed on the recommendation of former mayor Taher, the former Godfather of Lakshmipur district, despite giving money as per the demands of his sources and other people, has been demanding another Tk 15 lakh by threatening to arrest me.

When asked about these allegations to the SI Morshed Alam over the phone, he replied, It may be a vested plan to blame me, I am not involved in any unethical work during my duty.

SI Morshed Alam received the ‍‍`Best Officer‍‍` medal from the fallen government on 22 May 2024 for playing a special role.
