A tense confrontation erupted at the Narayanganj court premises on Sunday when former Fatullah Model Police Station Officer-in-Charge (OC) Manjur Kader was surrounded by Jamaat-e-Islami–aligned lawyers and student leaders. They accused Kader of torture, extortion, and political persecution during the previous government’s rule. As the situation escalated, BNP-affiliated lawyers, including Advocate Sakhawat Hossain Khan and Advocate Abu Al Yusuf Khan Tipu, intervened and escorted Kader to safety.
Jamaat lawyers alleged that Kader had abused his authority under political patronage, targeting opposition activists and extracting money through coercion. Several claimed to be victims of his actions, citing incidents from 2013 following protests against the war crimes verdict of Abdul Quader Molla. In contrast, BNP lawyers argued that they acted to prevent mob justice and maintain order within the court compound.
The incident has reignited debate over political divisions within the legal community and accountability for past police abuses. Local observers warn that such confrontations could further strain relations between BNP and Jamaat factions in Narayanganj’s legal circles.
