Former police chief Mamun was “influenced” to falsely testify, says Hasina’s lawyerLawyer Amir Hossain has claimed that ex-police chief Chowdhury Abdullah Al-Mamun was “provoked” into giving a statement implicating suspects in a crimes against humanity case linked to the July Uprising. The claim came on Monday during cross-examination of the case’s investigating officer Md Alamgir at the International Crimes Tribunal-1. Among the three suspects in the case, former IGP Mamun has given a statement as a state approver. The defence counsel also claimed that reports published in the daily Amar Desh newspaper were “false and hostile” towards Hasina, but Alamgir denied this. Former police chief Mamun was present in court during the proceedings.
