24 Chhatra odhikar parishad activists denied bail in 2 attempted murder cases
A Dhaka court today rejected bail petitions of 24 activists of Bangladesh Chhatra Odhikar Parishad in connection with two attempted murder cases filed by two Chhatra League men.
Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Mahbub Ahmed passed the order after their lawyers submitted separate petitions, seeking bail in the cases.
During today's hearing, advocate Masud Ahmed Talukder told the court that their clients were mercilessly beaten by the complainants and their associates.
But the victims were sued, arrested and sent to jail. So, their bail petitions should be granted, the lawyer added.
The prosecution, however, opposed the defence plea on grounds that the charges brought against them were primarily proved.
Upon hearing both the sides, the magistrate rejected their bail petition.
Earlier on Saturday (October 8, 2022), all the 24 accused were sent to Dhaka Central Jail in Keraniganj after they were produced before another Dhaka.
Chhatra League Organising Secretary Nazim Uddin and activist Aminur Rahman filed the cases with Shahbagh Police Station accusing 25 and 140-150 unnamed people.
Police on Friday (October 7, 2022) detained 24 parishad men at Dhaka Medical College Hospital and from nearby areas in connection with the incident. Among the detainees were several people who went to the hospital for treatment of their injuries.
Earlier in that day, at least 13 people were injured when BCL attacked a rally organised by the parishad marking the death anniversary of Buet student Abrar Fahad.
Abrar died on October 7, 2019, in a dormitory after being brutally beaten up by some Chhatra League men.
