A Netrokona court has sent BNP Rajshahi district unit convener Abu Sayeed Chand to jail after rejecting his bail petition in four cases lodged for making threat to the life of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.
Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate Kamal Hossain passed the order around 10:45am on Wednesday.
Earlier on May 22-23, four people including Netrokona district unit Awami League General Secretary Shamsur Rahman Liton filed the cases against Chand in the court.
The BNP leader in a rally on Shibpur High School premises in Puthia, Rajshahi, on May 19, publicly made the “death threat” to Prime Minister and Awami League President Sheikh Hasina.
