Charges framed against expelled Jubo League leader Khalid

A Dhaka Court today framed charges against expelled Jubo League leader Khalid Mahmud Bhuiyan in connection with a case filed under the Narcotics Control Act.

Khalid, now in jail, pleaded not guilty and demanded justice after Judge Md Robiul Alam of the Dhaka Metroplan Special Tribunal-4 read out charges to him.

The court fixed April 1 for starting trial of the case.

Rapid Action Battalion (Rab) arrested Khalid from his Gulshan residence on September 18 last year. Police seized one shotgun, two pistols, 57 rounds of shotgun bullets, 53 rounds of pistol bullets and 585 pieces of yaba pills from his residence.

Later, five cases including a drug case were filed against Khalid with Gulshan and Motijheel police stations. He was remanded for several days in the cases.
