HC to pass order tomorrow on contempt of court rule against Kushtia SP Tanvir

The High Court will deliver its order tomorrow on the contempt of court rule issued against the then Superintendent of Kushtia Police SM Tanvir Arafat for misbehaving with a senior judicial magistrate during Bheramara municipality election on January 16.

SM Tanvir Arafat has been transferred as deputy commissioner of Barishal Metropolitan Police on February 8.

The HC bench of Justice Mamnoon Rahman and Justice Khizir Hayat is scheduled to pass an order tomorrow (Wednesday) on the contempt of court rule against Tanvir Arafat, his lawyer Md Munsurul Hoque Chowdhury told The Daily Star today.

The senior counsel, however, said SP Tanvir Arafat has not communicated with him till today after the HC exonerated him on January 25 from personal appearance in connection with the rule.

On January 25, the HC bench had rebuked SP Tanvir Arafat for his misbehaviour with Senior Judicial Magistrate Md Mohsin Hasan, saying that he (Tanvir) must act in such a manner so that people don't feel that a police state has been established.
