Husband's bail denied

A Dhaka court yesterday again rejected the bail petition of Humayun Sultan, son of former AL lawmaker Khan Tipu Sultan, in the Shamarukh Mahjabin murder case.

Judge Jahirul Haque of the Metropolitan Sessions Judge's Court of Dhaka passed the order saying that the investigation of the case is now at the primary stage and police is yet to confirm the reason behind the death. 

Earlier on November 16, Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Anwar Sadat placed Humayun on a three-day remand rejecting his bail petition. Since then, Humayun Sultan has been in jail.

Humayun was arrested on November 13.

Humayun's wife Shamarukh was found dead at her in-laws' house on the same day. 

Later, the victim's father, Nurul Islam, filed a murder case with Dhanmondi Police Station accusing Humayun Sultan and his parents.
