SQ Chowdhury denied bail

A Chittagong Court yesterday rejected the bail prayed for BNP lawmaker Salauddin Quader Chowdhury.
District and Session Judge Abdul Kuddus Miyan denied the bail after SQ Chowdhury's lawyers prayed for his bail in a sedition case filed with Fathikchhari Police Station on December 21 last year.
SQ Chowdhury's family members, BNP workers and Jatiyatabadi Ainjibi Forum led by his wife brought out a procession in the court area around 12noon protesting the rejection. Police charged batons on the protestors and held seven people.
