Judge Shamsul Arefin of the Fifth Special Tribunal for Prevention of Women and Children Repression passed the order upon a naraji petition (no confidence) against the final report filed by Mosammat Sheuli Akhter Junuary 23.

Airport police submitted the final report on January 11 to the Chief Metropolitan Magistrate's Court, Dhaka and prayed for discharge of charges against the accused.

Police sought permission to file a case against the complainant as their probe found the charges false, fabricated and motivated.

Sheuli, an information assistant at the Civil Aviation Authority of Bangladesh (Caab) at Zia International Airport (ZIA), filed the case on November 13, 1993, five days after the alleged advances were made by DD Mostafa Faruq and his assistant Mahbub Alam.

She said they work at the same office and also discuss their family affairs sometimes. The accused would often make advances during office hours and touch her on different excuses.

At about 8:30am on November 13, Mostafa asked her to meet him at his office room. But she did not go there and was waiting at the passengers service desk. After a while, Mostafa came there, frisked her and took her duty pass away.

Later, she went to his office at around 10:00am to get her duty pass back. Instead of returning it, the DD attempted to violate her.
