Barrister Mir Ahmad Bin Quasem (Arman), Member of Parliament for the Dhaka-14 constituency, has publicly alleged that a primary accused in the attack on the Radda MSH-FP Centre in Mirpur is actively participating in political rallies despite being listed as a fugitive by law enforcement. The lawmaker demanded the immediate arrest and prosecution of the suspect to ensure justice for the assault on the healthcare facility.
In a statement published on his official Facebook account on Saturday, 7 November, Quasem raised sharp questions regarding the effectiveness of police oversight. He questioned how an individual officially classified by authorities as an absconder could march openly through public streets in broad daylight accompanied by supporters. According to the MP, the main coordinator of the attack, a locally known individual identified as Papel, has been seen taking part in political events organised by the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP). To substantiate his claims, Quasem attached photographic and video evidence to his social media post.
Expressing strong dissatisfaction over the situation, the MP described the contrast between police statements and reality as a clear deception of the public. He emphasised that law enforcement agencies repeatedly claim Papel is fleeing justice, yet his visible presence in public demonstrations directly contradicts these assertions. Quasem noted that allowing individuals accused of attacking a vital maternal and child healthcare clinic to move freely and participate in political activities is entirely unacceptable to the residents of the Dhaka-14 constituency.
Urging swift institutional action, the lawmaker demanded that police immediately apprehend Papel and bring all perpetrators associated with the Radda Centre attack to justice. Quasem warned that if the administration fails to take prompt legal measures, he will be compelled to organise stringent public demonstrations alongside local residents, adding that the local administration would bear full accountability for any subsequent escalation.
