Abdul Hannan Masud, the senior joint chief coordinator of the National Citizens’ Party (NCP), has admitted his mistake in connection with an incident involving the release of three individuals detained by Dhanmondi Police Station for alleged disorderly conduct.
The party revealed this in a statement issued by its joint office secretary, Saleh Uddin Sifat.
According to the statement, the NCP served a show-cause notice to Hannan on May 21, asking him to explain his actions.
In response, Hannan submitted both a written and verbal explanation to the party’s Political Council within three working days, as per a UNB report.
In his reply, Hannan acknowledged that his actions in Dhanmondi were wrong and affirmed his firm commitment not to repeat such mistakes in the future.
The NCP further said that since there was no evidence of Hannan’s involvement in the activities of the detained individuals, the Political Council decided to withdraw the show-cause notice issued against him.
Earlier, the show-cause notice issued to Hannan stated that on May 20, three individuals were detained by police for allegedly causing disorder in a residential area under Dhanmondi Police Station, identifying themselves as “coordinators.”
One of the three was Saiful Islam Rabbi, the Mohammadpur Thana convener of the Anti-Discrimination Student Movement, who had already been relieved of his duties by the NCP central committee for ethical misconduct.
Despite this, Hannan went to the police station and secured the release of the three by signing a bond on their behalf.
Following the incident, the party instructed Hannan to provide a written explanation within three days to the head of the NCP's disciplinary committee, clarifying why organisational action should not be taken against him.
