‘OC Moazzem to be arrested soon’

Road transport and bridges minister Obaidul Quader on Monday said former Sonagazi OC Moazzem Hossain will be arrested soon, reports UNB.

"It's difficult to arrest someone when he or she goes into hiding, but there's no lack of effort (from the government) to find him. I expect he'll be arrested soon and action will be taken against him," he said.

The minister came up with these remarks while addressing a press conference at the secretariat.

Replying to another question, Quader said he talked to the home minister over the issue and the home ministry is determined to arrest Moazzem.

The government has taken a strong stand on the issue and the prime minister is serious about the trial of Sonagazi madrasa student Nusrat Jahan Rafi murder case, UNB quoted the minister as saying.

"The government isn't negligent over the issue," Quader added.

Home minister Assaduzzaman Khan on Sunday said former OC of Sonagazi police station Moazzem Hossain will have to face the music for his role in the murder of Feni madrasa student Nusrat.
