A Chattogram court has ordered that Wakil Hossain alias Boga be shown arrested in the murder case of 16-year-old Hriday, who was hacked to death in the port city in September.
Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Md Mahidul Islam of the Chattogram Metropolitan Magistrate Court passed the order around 1:30pm on Thursday.
Police filed the petition on 25 October, seeking to show Boga arrested in the case.
Hriday was hacked to death on the night of 29 September. Police subsequently sought to include Boga as an accused in the murder case.
Boga is a former joint convener of Chattogram Metropolitan Swechhasebak Dal. He was expelled from the organisation on 8 June over allegations of violating party discipline and attempting to establish dominance.
According to police, efforts had been underway for a long time to arrest Boga.
He eventually surrendered to a court on 18 October. The court rejected his bail petition and ordered that he be sent to jail.
On 27 October, a court rejected the bail petitions of Boga and 12 others in two cases filed with Khulshi Police Station over allegations of attacking police and extortion.
The court also ordered that all 13 accused be sent to jail.
Boga and the other accused had sought bail in both cases. He had been on a six-week bail in one of them, according to case details.
Police sources said 17 cases had been filed against Boga over allegations including extortion, drug-related offences, assault, attacks on police, vandalism of public property and offences involving explosives.
