The state of power, its limits and usage, the hierarchies in the ruling class were all exposed in the incident involving Erfan, son of the most powerful politician in Dhaka’s Old Town (and then some), Haji Selim and a Navy officer.

Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan on Monday said that those who are involved in the crime will be brought to book irrespective of their identities.

A Dhaka court on Monday placed Mizanur Rahman, driver of MP Haji Selim,  on one-day remand in a case over the assault of a Navy official.
