Azizur Rahman, a rickshaw puller who was beaten while paying respects at Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman’s memorial in Dhanmondi 32, has been shown arrested by police in an attempted murder case.
The case, filed on April 2 at Dhanmondi Police Station, relates to an August 4 shooting incident in Dhaka’s Science Lab area. Following his arrest, Azizur was sent to jail by court order.
Before being detained, Azizur said: “I don’t belong to any political party. I only came because I love Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman. I did not come for Sheikh Hasina or the Awami League. I brought flowers bought with my own hard-earned money.”
