Khondokar Mohammad Kamrul Hossain, a staff of Proshika, on Sunday filed a case with a Dhaka court against nine supporters of the non-government organisation's former chairman Qazi Faruque Ahmed.
Metropolitan Magistrate Roksana Begum Happy took the case into cognizance and directed the officer-in-charge (OC) of Pallabi Police Station to submit a report by March 4, 2010 after an investigation into the matter.
On January 12, a group of people backed by Faruque ousted the anti-Faruque group from the head office of the NGO and took control of the building.
Some 20 to 25 people stormed the Proshika Bhaban at the city's Mirpur-6 and beat five to six Proshika officials and ousted those from the office on the day.
Last year, the governing body of Proshika removed Faruque from the chairmanship of the organisation and appointed Abdul Wadud as its chairman.
