DHAKA, Aug 31, 2025 (BSS) - A court here today acquitted BNP Secretary 
General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir of charges in a case filed in 2013 for 
obstructing police from discharging their duties and attempted murder.

Dhaka Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Md Zakir Hossain passed the 
order following a High Court directive, defence counsel Syed Joynal Abedin 
Mejbah told BSS.

Police on March 2, 2013, filed the case against 28 people, including Mirza 
Fakhrul Islam Alamgir, for allegedly obstructing police and attempting to 
murder. Later that year, investigators submitted a charge-sheet against 21 
accused including Fakhrul.

The BNP secretary general's counsel subsequently moved to the High Court, 
seeking to quash the charges brought against him. The court accepted the plea 
and ordered the charges against Fakhrul to be dropped.
