Mohammad Nizamul Haq, the complainant in a petition filed to the General Secretary of Dhaka Bar Association (DBA) alleged that SPP Mohammad Abul Khair yesterday demanded Tk 1,000 when he (Nizamul) appeared before the court for giving his deposition.

Nizamul Haq of Shahidbagh at Motijheel in the capital, complainant of a case filed under the Special Act for Prevention on Women and Children Repression, in his petition mentioned that he appeared before the court at about 10:00am for giving his deposition. But SPP would not take necessary steps for giving his deposition if he (complainant) did not pay the money, the petitioner said.

Khair became angry and misbehaved with the complainant as he refused to give the money. Moreover, the SPP ousted him from the courtroom, the complainant added.

When contacted, SPP told The Daily Star that the charges brought against him were false, fabricated and concocted.

DBA General Secretary Mohammad Khorshed Alam said that he got a petition against the SPP and he would take necessary action if the charges brought against him are proved true.
