Haji Selim, a parliamentarian from the Dhaka-6 constituency, who had been in hiding for more than a week after his son Irfan was arrested for beating a naval officer, was seen on Mill Jail Murder Day.
On Tuesday (November 3) morning, Haji Selim was seen visiting the portraits of the Interior Minister, Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal Bangabandhu, and four national leaders at the former Dhaka Central Jail on Nazimuddin Road.
On the night of October 25, in Dhanmondi, some people got out of Haji Selim’s car and beat a naval officer. Haji Selim’s son Irfan Selim, the 30th District Councilor of the Dhaka South City Corporation, was in the car at the time.
Irfan Selim is now in DB remand with some cases. The mobile court also sentenced him to one and a half years in prison for illegally drinking and using Wakitki.
Irfan had to lose the position of councilor upon being convicted. The ACC has announced the start of an investigation into the collection of ‘illegal assets’ from the MP’s family.
Haji Selim has been in hiding since the incident. At around 9:15 am Tuesday, he got into a white van and drove to the old Nazimuddin Road jail to attend the Murder Day in Jail celebrations. The eldest son, Solomon Selim, was with him at the time.
