Ex-Shibir leader Jisan shown arrested in rape case

Jisan Ahmed, recently expelled from Islami Chhatra Shibir,
the student front of Jamaat e Islami, was shown arrested yesterday (14 June)
morning in a rape case filed by a woman from Daudkandi upazila of Cumilla.
Jisan is currently admitted to the prison ward
of Cumilla Medical College Hospital - even though police claim that no
complications have been detected in his physical condition so far.
However, as his actual health condition has not
yet been confirmed, he could not be produced before a court.
Jisan served as Assistant Secretary for International Affairs of the central
committee of Chhatra Shibir.
Meanwhile, the authorities of Cumilla Medical
College Hospital have formed an investigation committee to determine his actual
physical condition.
The four-member committee was formed on Sunday
afternoon with Prof Md Helalur Rahman, head of the hospital's Medicine
Department, appointed as its chief. The committee has been requested to submit
its report within one day.
Acting director of the hospital Dr Md
Shahjahan, said initially, no evidence of any serious physical complication has
been found in his body. "We will be able to reach a more definite
conclusion once the investigation report is submitted," he said.
Shamsul Alam Shah, Officer-in-Charge(OC) of
Cumilla Detective Branch (DB) Police, said further steps would be taken after
the hospital authorities submit their final report.
Md Anisuzzaman, Cumilla Superintendent of
Police, alleged that Jisan had staged an abduction drama to avoid marrying the
woman who later filed the case.
On the other hand, Chhatra Shibir claimed that
both parties are currently in police custody and it had not been possible to
directly communicate with the parties concerned and therefore it could not
independently verify the actual situation.
However, the organisation said preliminary
information suggesting a romantic relationship between Jisan and the woman had
been found, and on that basis he had been expelled from the organisation.
