A Habiganj court has sent former Awami League MP Advocate Majid Khan to jail in a murder case.
Judge of Habiganj Chief Senior Judicial Magistrate Abdul Ali passed the order after police produced him before the court, said Baniachong police station’s Officer-in-Charge Golam Mostafa.
Earlier on Monday, police arrested Majid, ex-MP from Habiganj-2 constituency (Baniachong- Ajmiriganj), from the Farmgate area of Dhaka, and handed him over to the Baniachong police station.
Police said the former MP was the second accused in a case over the killing of nine people during the anti-government movement on August 5 last year.
Moreover, Majid was an accused in another case over the murder of Ripon Shil who was killed during the movement.
He was elected as MP in the 2009, 2014, and 2018 national elections, but failing to secure a party nomination in 2024, he contested as an independent candidate and faced a defeat.
