Later, Shafiqul was arrested from Manikganj. They will be produced in court yesterday.
During police interrogation, Kulsum Begum, the plaintiff in the case, said that she was brought to Ashulia on the promise of a job. Then, she was promised five lakh taka and an allowance of 20 thousand taka per month and the case was filed. Based on the words of Ruhul Amin and Shafiqul, she filed the case.
It is noteworthy that Kulsum filed a case against 130 leaders and activists of the Awami League, including Sheikh Hasina and Asaduzzaman Kamal, by showing her living husband as dead.
