Md Shukkur Shah, 30, owner of a laundry shop at Hazaribagh, walked out of Dhaka Central Jail in Keraniganj last evening. A Dhaka court had noticed it and ordered the former’s immediate release. SI Mominul had shown Shukkur Shah arrested in the 2011 drug case instead of Shukkur Ali, the actual convict. Interestingly, the jail authorities produced Shukkur Shah before it for several times as Shukkur Ali. OC Md Ikram Ali Mia told the court that Shukkur Shah’s landlord Shamsher Ali identified him as Shukkur Ali which caused the original blunder.
