A murder accused who escaped from a Dhaka court after removing his handcuffs has been arrested from his sister’s house in Netrokona.

The arrestee, Md. Kawsar Mia, was detained on Wednesday (November 11), Additional Deputy Commissioner of the Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) Prosecution Division Nasir Ahmed confirmed.

Kawsar fled from the dock of the First Additional Metropolitan Sessions Judge Court on Tuesday while being taken back to the custody room after the hearing.

He had been brought from Kashimpur Jail in Gazipur to attend a hearing in the 2020 murder case of 17-year-old garment worker Alo. As no witnesses appeared, the hearing was deferred.

According to the case documents, Alo was stabbed to death in the bathroom of her home in Dakshinpara, South Khan, on July 20, 2020. Her father, Robiul Islam, filed a murder case against unidentified persons the following day.

Police arrested Kawsar from Tongi during the investigation. In a confessional statement, he admitted to killing Alo over a strained relationship, claiming she had started avoiding him.

Police submitted a charge sheet against him on June 30, 2021, and the trial began on July 20, 2022. The victim’s father and elder sister have already testified.

A separate case has been filed over Kawsar’s escape. Two police personnel have been temporarily suspended for alleged negligence and an investigation committee has been formed.
