The armed forces arrested a college student on Thursday for falsely identifying himself as an army officer and taking a vehicle and forces from Jatrabari Police Station with the fake identity.
Abdullah Al Farhad, 25, a final year student of a private law college in Dhanmondi, went to the duty officer’s room at the Jatrabari PS around 3:00pm on Thursday and identified himself as a captain. He asked the duty officer to provide him with a vehicle and police force for some “government” job.
The duty officer phoned the officer-in-charge (OC) and informed him of Farhad’s demand. The OC asked the duty officer to give Farhad a pick-up van and a sub-inspector (SI), three constables and a driver, police said.
Farhad, a resident of Dania under Jatrabari PS, then went to the Dhaka University (DU) campus and started wandering aimlessly.
“Farhad’s behaviour seemed very unusual,” said SI Shariful Islam, who then asked the driver to go to the army camp on the DU campus.
At the army camp, its in-charge interrogated Farhad and arrested him after being confirmed of his false identity.
A case was filed with Jatrabari PS and the police referred Farhad to the court. He was taken on remand yesterday.
The police said Farhad was a student of Comilla Cadet College and was expelled from the college in 1999 on disciplinary grounds.
