Ex-minister Inu sent to jail in student killing case

A court here today sent former information
minister Hasanul Haque Inu to jail in a case lodged over the killing of a
college student Khalid Hasan Saifullah in the capital’s Azimpur area during
the anti-discrimination students’ movement.

Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Md Sefatullah passed the order as police
produced Inu before the court after the end of his four-day remand in the
case and pleaded to keep him behind bars.

Hasanul Haque Inu was arrested from a house in the capital’s Uttara area on
August 26.

Khalid Hasan Saifullah was shot and killed on July 18 in Azimpur Government
Residential Area as he was taking part in the anti-discrimination students
rally.

His father filed the case on August 19 with Lalbagh Police Station against 52
people including ousted prime minister Sheikh Hasina. (BSS)
