Sadar police station Officer-in-Charge Mostafizur Rahman said Rumon was fugitive in a case of the Motor Vehicle Act. Police had also arrested Rumon in September 2016 over with two extortion cases filed by Satkhira Jubo League leader Zulfiqar Ali Ujjal and trader Sirajul Islam Bullet. Rumon’s mother Rifat Amin is the president of the Satkhira Mahila Awami League and became a member of parliament for the first time in 2014. Locals say Rumon went astray at a young age. Despite the repeated incidents, Rumon’s mother has deflected blame from her son, claiming the allegations are ‘simply propaganda’.
