Mishu's bail rejected

A Dhaka court yesterday rejected bails of Garment Sramik Oikya Parishad President Moshrefa Mishu in two separate criminal cases filed for creating recent unrest in the city's garment sector.
Metropolitan Magistrate Mohammad Ismail Hossain passed the orders after hearing the bail petitions from the prosecution and the defence.
Of the two cases filed with Kafrul Police Station, one was on charges of vandalising Outright Fashion Ltd in Shewrapara on June 30 while the other for vandalising National Wool Wear Ltd in Mirpur-14 on December 9. Both accused her of damaging and setting fire to vehicles and obstructing police from duty.
Mishu was shown arrested in both the cases and was remanded for two days in one of the cases.
Mishu was also shown arrested in another case filed with Khilkhet Police Station on charges of injuring 20 policemen and damaging 60 vehicles, setting some on fire, in the area on December 12.
In the case, she was granted a two-day remand but police could not take her in as she is now under treatment at Dhaka Medical College and Hospital.
Mishu, also president of Garment Workers Unity Forum, was arrested on December 14 in a case filed for damaging vehicles.
