Case Details:<br />

81<br />

Victim Johurul Gazi was continuously subjected to harassment by his relatives who were<br />

jealous of his financial status and property holdings.<br />

On 4 June 2007, Gazi was away on business. While he was away, Gazi’s aunt poured<br />

kerosene over her own body and shouted accusations that Gazi intended to set her on fire.<br />

Gazi’s aunt then lodged a complaint to that effect with the Swarup Nagar PS. When the police<br />

investigated the complaint, they did not take any statements of witnesses, including Gazi’s wife<br />

who observed the Gazi’s aunt’s actions and attempted to explain that Gazi was not present<br />

during the incident. Instead, they took statements from people who lived far away and were not<br />

present at the time.<br />

The police of Swarup Nagar PS initiated a criminal case against Gazi. At around 8.00pm, police<br />

officers from the Swarup Nagar PS arrested Gazi.<br />
