SC stays bail of four accused
The Supreme Court yesterday stayed for four weeks a High Court order granting bail to four accused in Karwan Bazar triple murder case.
The four accused are Lutfor Rahman, also known as L Rahman and president of 39 ward of BNP, Nabi Solaiman, former religious affairs secretary of Jubo Dal, and Abu Sayeed and Nurul Islam, two ward level leaders of BNP.
Justice SK Sinha, chamber judge of the Appellate Division, passed the order upon a government petition moved by Attorney General Mahbubey Alam.
Deputy Attorney General Motahar Hossain Sazu told The Daily Star that the accused will not get released from jail following the SC order.
Earlier on Wednesday, the HC granted ad interim bail for six months to the four accused in the case.
After hearing a bail petition jointly filed by the four, an HC vacation bench of Justice AFM Abdur Rahman and Justice Md Rezaul Hasan had also issued a rule upon the government to explain why the petitioners should not be granted regular bail.
