The arrestee was identified as Lal Mohammad, son of Shukruddin of Shibganj upazila of the district.
Court sources said Lal Mohammad was an accused in a case filed for sabotage activities with Shibganj Police Station in 2013 and the proceedings are being held at the Chief Judicial Magistrate’s court.
Recently, Lal’s counsel filed a petition seeking exemption from the case as his client Lal had passed away.
The court asked the officer-in-charge of Shibganj Police Station to submit a progress report before the court about the death of the accused within January 27.
During investigation, police came to know that Lal is alive and well, and living at home. Later, police arrested Lal Mohammad on Sunday, said Shikdar Mashiur Rahman, officer-in-charge of Shibganj Police Station.
