Murder Case Accused Escapes from Dhaka Courtroom After Loosening Handcuffs

A murder case accused escaped from a courtroom in Dhaka on Tuesday after managing to loosen his handcuffs, police said.

The accused, Kausar Mia, fled from the dock of the Additional Metropolitan Sessions Judge’s Court-1 at around 12:10pm, said Sub-Inspector Ripon Molla, who is in charge of the lockup at the Metropolitan Sessions Judge’s Court.

“He managed to loosen his handcuffs while in the dock and fled,” the SI said.

Police said Kausar escaped when the constable assigned to escort him went to a court employee to hand over the custody warrant.

According to court records, 19-year-old Kausar is accused in a case filed over the murder of 17-year-old garment worker Alo Akter in Dhaka’s Dakkhinkhan area on July 20, 2020.

The court was scheduled to record testimony from prosecution witnesses in the case on Tuesday.
