Alal among six Jubo Dal men remanded
A Dhaka court yesterday placed six Jubo Dal activists including its President Syed Moazzem Hossain Alal on a three-day remand each in a case filed for plotting subversive activities during yesterday's hartal.
The five other accused are Saidur Rahman, 40, Jahangir Hossain Howlader, 38, Kamrul Islam, 46, Abul Kalam Azad, 51, and Rubel Howlader, 19.
The order came after Mohammadpur police produced the six leaders and activists of the youth wing of BNP, before the court with a 10-day remand prayer in the case filed yesterday under the Special Power Act.
Police on Saturday arrested Alal along with 62 activists of the BNP and its front organisations from his Lalmatia residence in Dhaka.
Police also sought a 10-day remand for Md Jahangir, Jatiyatabadi Sramik Dal president of ward No. 46, but the court did not allow it as he fell sick inside the courtroom during the trial procedure.
The court also sent the other 56 to jail after they had been produced before it without any remand prayer for them.
Defence sought cancellation of the remand prayer and appealed to the court to grant them bail.
This was the second highest mass apprehension of BNP activists from a single spot since March 11 last year when police had arrested over 164 BNP men after raiding the party headquarters in Naya Paltan.
