A Dhaka court has ordered former Awami League lawmaker and singer Momtaz Begum to be shown arrested in an attempted murder case linked to the July anti-discrimination student movement. The order was issued on Wednesday afternoon by Metropolitan Magistrate Ariful Islam after the investigating officer, Sub-Inspector Md. Azizul Haque of Mirpur Model Police Station, submitted a petition. Public Prosecutor Omar Faruk Faruki supported the petition, while Momtaz’s lawyers opposed it.
According to the case, on August 4, 2024, during the July movement, complainant and victim Mukhtar Hossain joined a protest in Mirpur where police and Awami League supporters allegedly attacked demonstrators. Mukhtar was injured by rubber bullets and later filed an attempted murder case. Investigators claimed evidence linked Momtaz to the incident, making her arrest necessary for further questioning.
Momtaz was previously detained by the Detective Branch on May 12, 2025, from a residence in Dhanmondi and has remained in custody since her four-day remand was approved by the Chief Metropolitan Magistrate’s Court.
