Kawsar Mia, an accused in a murder case who escaped from a Dhaka court after removing his handcuffs, has been arrested in Netrokona.
A team of police from Kotwali Police Station arrested him around 6am today (12 November) in the Tarakanda area under Purbadhala Police Station in Netrokona.
Investigation Officer of the case Sufal Kumar confirmed the arrest, saying police used information technology to track down Kawsar and launched an operation to arrest him.
“After escaping from the court, he was undecided about where to go. He first went to his sister’s house, then to his own home yesterday evening, and later to his aunt’s house at night. We conducted an operation and arrested him around 6am today. He will be produced before the court at 2pm,” he said.
Kawsar escaped from the dock of the Additional First Court of the Dhaka Metropolitan Sessions Judge’s Court around noon on 10 November after removing his handcuffs.
His escape was discovered at around 12:40pm. On the same day, Ripon Molla, in charge of the detention room of the Metropolitan Sessions Judge’s Court, filed a case against Kawsar at Kotwali Police Station.
Court sources said Kawsar is from Dhala Maizpara village under Purbadhala Police Station in Netrokona. His father’s name was the late Ruku Mia. He is an accused in a murder case filed with Dakshinkhan Police Station, with Sessions Case No 78/22 pending against him.
Constable Arafat was responsible for bringing Kawsar to court and guarding him on the day he escaped.
According to the case documents, a 17-year-old girl was stabbed to death in a bathroom in the South Para area of Dakshinkhan on 20 July 2020. The following day, her father, Robiul Islam, filed a murder case against unidentified individuals.
During the investigation, police arrested Kawsar from the Tongi area on the same day. The following day, he gave a confessional statement before the court.
On 30 June 2021, Sub-Inspector Sujan Chandra Karmakar of Dakshinkhan Police Station submitted a charge sheet against Kawsar after completing the investigation.
The trial began on 20 July 2022, when charges were formally framed against him.
Kawsar has been in jail since his arrest this morning.
