Road Blockade
Fakhrul again denied bail
A Dhaka court yesterday rejected BNP acting secretary general Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir's bail petition in a case hours after granting him bail in another case.
Judge Md Zahirul Haque of the Metropolitan Sessions Judge's Court in Dhaka denied the bail to Fakhrul in a case filed with Motijheel Police Station for blasting cocktails and assaulting police during the opposition's
countrywide road blockade on December 9 last year.
Earlier in the day, the same judge granted bail to the BNP leader in another case filed with Sutrapur Police Station for assaulting police and preventing them from discharging duties during the road blockade.
Fakhrul was arrested in the two cases on January 3. Later, his lawyer filed the bail
petitions with the court.
