Convict Amin Huda sent to jail

A Dhaka court yesterday again sent to jail Amin Huda, who was earlier sentenced to 79 years' rigorous imprisonment in connection with the biggest haul of Yaba tablets, on rejecting his bail petition after his surrender.
Judge Motahar Hossain of the Speedy Trial Tribunal-4, as per another petition of Amin, also directed the jail authorities to provide him treatment, if necessary.
On October 25, 2007, Rapid Action Battalion seized 1,30,000 Yaba tablets and 5,000 Yaba alternative drugs from the possession of Amin and his partner Ahsanul Haque Hasan at their Gulshan office in the capital.
On July 15, 2012, a trial court passed the sentence on Amin and Hasan in connection with two cases filed with Gulshan Police Station following the seizure.
The High Court, on February 11 this year, granted bail to Amin for six months on health grounds.
On May 5, the Supreme Court cancelled Amin Huda's High Court bail and directed him to surrender before the trial court within a week.
Amin duly complied and submitted the two petitions, one seeking bail and the other seeking treatment in jail custody.
