Family attacks cops, snatches convict
Relatives of a man convicted in a drug case attacked policemen and snatched him from them in Sharishabari upazila of Jamalpur yesterday.
The convict, Hafizur Rahman, was sentenced to six months in jail, said Shahed Al Mamun, sub-inspector of Tarakandi Police Investigation Centre under Sharishabari Police Station.
A judicial magistrate court issued an arrest warrant against Hafizur a few days ago.
Yesterday, a four-member team, led by SI Abu Sayed, raided Hafizur's house in Charpubaldigha village and arrested him around 8:30am.
While they were taking Hafizur to the police station, his family members swooped on the law enforcers and snatched him, leaving SI Sayed and constable Sarwar injured, said SI Shahed.
Hafizur also snatched a pistol from Sayed and left the area, he added.
Police, however, found the pistol in an adjacent area after a two-hour search.
SI Sayed filed a case accusing 12 people, including Hafizur and his family members and four unnamed others yesterday.
