Hearing on the bail petition of BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir in nine separate cases filed against him with Ramna Model and Paltan Police Stations is set to begin today. The hearing will be held in the court of Dhaka Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Rezaul Karim Chowdhury.

On December 31, Dhaka’s Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Rezaul Karim Chowdhury fixed the date for Mirza Fakhrul’s hearing after his lawyer Syed Zainul Abedin Mesbah filed a petition.

On October 29, police filed a case with Ramna Model Police Station on the charges of vandalizm and attack on the Chief Justice’s residence during a BNP rally on 28 October last.

Apart from Mirza Fakhrul, 59 BNP leaders and activists, including Standing Committee member Mirza Abbas, were accused in the case.
Fakhrul was arrested in the case on October 29 and has been in jail since then.
