A Dhaka court on Wednesday (22 November) denied bail to BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir in a case filed over the demolition of the chief justice's apartment on October 28 during the BNP-police fight.
The verdict was pronounced by Dhaka Metropolitan Sessions Acting Judge Faisal Atiq Bin Quader's court after the conclusion of the hearing of the case filed against Fakhrul in connection with the attack on the chief justice's residence during the party's rally on October 28.
Advocate Masud Ahmed Talukder, Md Asaduzzaman, Bodruddoza Badal and Syed Zainul Abedin Mejbah pleaded to the court on Fakhrul’s behalf.
Abdullah Abu Jamin, the state's public prosecutor for Dhaka Metropolitan, opposed the bail.
The court gave the ruling after hearing both sides.
Syed Zainul Abedin Mejbah, Fakhrul's attorney, stated that an appeal against the order will be filed with the High Court after a discussion with the party.
