Rasraj's bail plea hearing deferred
A Brahmanbaria court yesterday deferred to January 16 the hearing of a bail prayer of Rasraj Das in a case filed against him for allegedly demeaning religion, court sources said.
Earlier on November 8, a bail petition of Rasraj, who was detained following a Facebook post that “instigated” attacks on the Hindu community in Nasirnagar upazila, was rejected.
At that time, the court also rejected a petition seeking a fresh five-day remand for Rasraj in connection with the case filed over a Facebook post "instigating" the attack on October 30.
On October 30, around 200 religious bigots attacked at least five temples, and vandalised and looted about 100 Hindu houses in several localities in Nasirnagar. The attackers also beat up more than 100 people.
