A Dhaka court yesterday issued arrest warrant against Barrister Fakhrul Islam, former counsel for Delwar Hossain Sayedee, in a defamation case filed for making comments about the War of Liberation.
Metropolitan Magistrate Tanvir Ahmed issued the arrest warrant as Fakhrul was not present during the yesterday's hearing.
The court also framed charge against Fakhrul in his absence and fixed April 4, 2012 for starting trial of the case.
