But, the prosecution side opposed the bail petition and prayed for remand.
The court heard both the sides and granted two more days remand rejecting the bail petition.
Earlier, on September 16, MM Mosharaf Hossain granted them three days remand and another two days on September 19 for further investigation in this connection.

Sub-Inspector (SI) Amit Hasan Mahmud of Shahjahanpur Thana filed a case against Shohaibul and Sajib on September 16 alleging that they were involved in creating anarchy in the department through various posts and comments in their Facebook identities from August 6 to September 15.

They, along with their accomplices, were also involved in creating confusion, hatred and communal flare up by disseminating false, fabricated information and rumours among the people by using their Facebook posts.
