Mirza Fakhrul seeks bail from session court

Staff Reporter  :
BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir on Thursday filed a bail petition with a Dhaka court in connection with a case filed over the attack on the residence of the Chief Justice in Kakrail on October 28.

His lawyer Zainul Abedin Mesbah filed the petition with the court of Dhaka Metropolitan Sessions Judge, Md Assaduzzaman, seeking bail for Fakhrul in the case filed with the Ramna Police Station.

The lawyer said, “We filed a bail petition with the Metropolitan Sessions Judge’s court against the order passed by the Chief Metropolitan Magistrate court that rejected bail to Mirza Fakhrul.”

However, the time is yet to be fixed for a hearing on the bail petition, he said.

On October 29, the Detective Branch of police detained Fakhrul from his Gulshan residence around 9:25am. Around 10:00pm the same day, Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Md Rashidul Alam sent him to jail, rejecting his bail prayer after he was produced before the court.
