‘It was just misunderstanding’, police report on Sikder brothers case

"Since the defendants and accused later understood their mistakes, they reached a compromising agreement on the case. In the agreement, the two parties said they want to move forward with mutual respect by ending the misunderstanding," said the police report submitted to a Dhaka court on 27 July.

According to the statement of the case filed by Exim Bank with Gulshan Police Station against the brothers on 19 May last year, Sikder brothers allegedly abducted two Exim Bank officials last year after being turned down for Tk500 crore bank loan. Ron and Dipu allegedly tortured the bankers and threatened them to shoot dead at Sikder House in Banani.

"Who do you think you are that you dare to disobey me? I will shoot you and cripple you for life," Sikder Group managing director Ron Haque, gun in hand, threatened the bankers, as said in the case statement.

However, the police report said there was no evidence to support the accusations against the brothers.

Ron is now in bail as Dipu is still on the run. Additional Deputy Commissioner of Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) Golam Saklain Shithil – who came to the spotlight following allegations of unprofessional conduct with actress Pori Moni – was the supervising officer of the case.

"I talked to my superiors during the investigation for their opinions as the factual errors surfaced," Shithil said in the report, recommending the brothers to be exempted from the charges.

Meanwhile, the investigation officer of the case and a detective branch Sub-Inspector (SI) Mohammad Ripon asked the court for permission to return the car, firearm and bullets to the brothers that police seized earlier.

The investigation officer mentioned in the report that the firearm with 70 rounds of bullet was seized from Sikder's Banani residence.

Citing ballistic and chemical reports of the firearms, police said they were not sure whether it was used or not.

The police report also said the accused were not seen in the closed-circuit television camera (CCTV) footage collected from the bank.
