Dhaka court sends BNP leaders Rizvi, Dudu back to jail
A Dhaka court yesterday rejected remand and bail petitions in seven separate arson cases against BNP leaders Ruhul Kabir Rizvi Ahmed and Shamsuzzaman Dudu and sent them back to jail.
However, the court allowed police to interrogate the BNP leaders at the jail gate within May 31.
Police sought a 60-day remand for Dudu in six cases, and a 27-day remand for Rizvi in three cases.
All the cases were filed this January for damaging, torching vehicles and throwing petrol bombs on buses during the non-stop blockade and hartal enforced by the BNP-led 20-party alliance.
Metropolitan Magistrate M Imdadul Haque passed the order yesterday.
Meanwhile, another Dhaka court adjourned till July 2 the hearing of charge framing against BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir and 45 others in a case filed for torching a bus in front of the Prime Minister's Office on April 29, 2012.
