BNP leaders Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir and Mirza Abbas will remain in jail after a Dhaka court rejected their bail pleas for inciting the attack on police in Naya Paltan.
Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Shafi Uddin rejected the bail applications of Mirza Fakhrul, Abbas and 222 other BNP leaders and workers in a hearing on Monday.
A ‘special’ application was filed in the Chief Metropolitan Magistrate’s Court on Sunday as the BNP leaders sought bail less than seven days after their initial plea was rejected.
Advocate Zainul Abedin represented Mirza Fakhrul, while Mohiuddin appeared for Chaudhary Abbas in the bail hearing. Meanwhile, public prosecutor Abdullah Abu opposed their bail pleas.
