The High Court today directed the inspector general of police to give Tk 20 lakh as compensation to Md Arman, a technician at a Benarasi Palli in Mirpur, in 30 days as police personnel have wrongly arrested him and kept him in jail for around four years instead of the original accused in a drug case.
The court also asked the authorities concerned of the government to immediately release Arman from Dhaka central jail.
