Judge Javed Imam denied bail again

A Dhaka court yesterday rejected a bail petition of a senior assistant judge of Bhola District Judge's Court, who was sued for carrying illegal drugs.
New Market police arrested Javed Imam in front of the capital's Eden Women's College with 342 bottles of Phensedyl on December 1.
He was denied bail by a metropolitan magistrate on December 6 and sent to Dhaka Central Jail.
Yesterday his bail petition was rejected by Judge (vacation) Md Helal Uddin of the Dhaka Metropolitan Sessions Judge's Court.
Following his arrest, Javed Imam was produced before the media, but it created a controversy and eventually led the High Court to direct law enforcers not to expose any arrestees before the media anymore. Earlier, the metropolitan magistrate directed the police chief to withdraw five police officials involved in producing the arrested judge before the media. The HC however stayed the order later.
