Constable Shoaibur Rahman Joy appealed for forgiveness while being taken to court from the CMM Court lockup on Wednesday, April 1, 2026. He was shown arrested in a case related to the injury of a man named Abu Noman during the July uprising near the BTV building in Dhaka’s Rampura area. The order to show him arrested was issued by Metropolitan Magistrate Albirni Mir, confirmed by court prosecution officer SI Mominul Islam.

Earlier in court, Shoaibur stated that he had done nothing wrong during his police service and pleaded for a general pardon, saying he wanted to return to his child. He also questioned why he was repeatedly charged in what he described as false cases and appealed to Prime Minister Tarique Rahman and the Home Minister for mercy. Shoaibur was first arrested in September 2024 after organizing police members following the fall of the Awami League government.

The case stems from a July 19, 2024 incident when protesters clashed near the Rampura BTV building, leaving Abu Noman injured. After recovery, Noman filed an attempted murder case with Rampura Police Station.
