Quazi Mohammad Rezwanul Ahsan Nafis
The
hearing on a case against Quazi Mohammad Rezwanul Ahsan Nafis, now
detained in the USA for his alleged plot to blow up the Federal Reserve
Bank in Manhattan, started at Brooklyn’s Eastern district Federal court
in New York on Wednesday.The lawyer who stood in the court in favour of Nafis strongly pleaded that Nafis is innocent as he (Nafis) has been implicated in the case in a planned way.
The court, however, fixed February 14 for the next hearing, reports BBC Bangla on Thursday.
“Nafis was looking sad and gloomy in the court,” the BBC report says quoting New York-based journalist Lavelu Ansar.
Earlier, Nafis claimed in the court that the allegations brought against him were not true, and he was innocent.
The trial procedure will be fixed in the next hearing and the final hearing will begin on April 3.
On behalf of the government, Bangladesh Ambassador in Washington Akramul Quader and his representative Consular M Shamsul Haque were present at the court during the hearing.
On October 17 last year, the FBI arrested 21-year-old Nafis after he reportedly tried to detonate a fake 1,000-pound (454-kg) car bomb outside the Federal Reserve building in Manhattan, according to a criminal complaint.
Nafis went to the United States on a scholarship in January last year after completing five semesters in BBA at North South University.
Earlier, Nafis’ family members said the allegations against his son were totally false, and that Nafis went to the US to study only.
