Bail prayers of Jamaat, Shibir men rejected
A Rajshahi court yesterday rejected bail prayers of 210 leaders and activists of Jamaat-e-Islami and its student front Chhatra Shibir sued for police assault during February 9 Rajshahi University (RU) violence.
However, 195 out of 210 Jamaat and Shibir men were produced before the court as the other arrestees were either ill or had examinations, said Mrinal Kanti Bhattachariya, assistant commissioner of police.
Those produced in the court included Rajshahi city Jamaat ameer Ataur Rahman, general secretary Abul Kalam Azad, assistant secretary Siddik Hossain and former Rajshahi ward councillor Gias Uddin.
Their lawyers submitted bail prayers on behalf of them but the Court of Metropolitan Magistrate rejected the prayers.
The court fixed the next hearing date on April 29.
