Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) Commissioner AKM Shahidul Haque yesterday said there was no scope of charging ruling party Parliament Member Nurunnabi Chowdhury Shaon under the Arms Act.

The DMP Commissioner contradicted State Minister for Law Qamrul Islam a day after he said a ruling party MP was guilty of murder under the Arms Act.

Shahidul Haque was speaking at a press conference at the detective and criminal intelligence headquarters in the city yesterday.

On Sunday, the State Minister for law said, “Shaon is guilty under the Arms Act as one man’s licensed weapon cannot be kept with another, but he (Shaon) did so.”
