Dhaka, Nov 16 (bdnews24.com) — The police have sued Dipjol, a noted cinema villain, for assaulting a policeman.
The BNP ward commissioner, better known by the notorious roles he plays, has allegedly slapped and threatened law enforcers.
Police constable Altaf Uddin filed the case with the Darussalam Police Station at about 4:30pm.
Darussalam police chief Abdul Malek told bdnews24.com, "The traffic constable was performing his duty at the Gabtoli intersection at 10:15am when Dipjol's speeding ran a red light."
"As constable Altaf obstructed the car, Dipjol got down, slapped the constable quite like the movies," Malek said. The police officer said Monwar Hossain Dipjol
was also hurling abuses at the constable the entire time.
"Dipjol said, 'Do you know who I am? You have some nerve to stop my car'."
The film actor also took out a pistol, Malek alleged. "On information, we rushed to the spot, but couldn't get hold of him. But we are still trying to detain him."
Dipjol had been arrested during the tenure of the military-installed caretaker government on different charges against him that includes extortion and encroachment of government land.
Two illegal firearms were also recovered from his Gabtoli residence at that time.
He was freed after the Awami League-led government came to power in 2009.
