Court didn’t accept Fakhrul’s bail pleas in 10 cases

A Dhaka court did not accept the bail prayers of BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir in 10 cases filed against him with two different police stations in the capital.

Mirza Fakhrul was not shown arrested although he is an accused in those 10 cases.

When the bail prayers were placed before the court for hearing on Wednesday afternoon, the court said he had no jurisdiction to hear the bail petitions until the investigation officer showed the accused arrested.

At that time, Dhaka metropolitan magistrates Rajesh Chowdhury and Md Shafiuddin advised the lawyer of the accused to move to higher court.

Earlier, in the morning Mirza Fakhrul’s lawyer Syed Zainul Abedin Mesbah submitted the bail petitions to the court in 10 cases filed with Paltan and Ramna Police Stations.

Of the 10 cases, seven were filed with Paltan Police Station and three with Ramna Police Station.
