Mirza Abbas gets bail in 6 cases

A Dhaka court has granted bail to BNP standing committee member Mirza Abbas in six separate cases.

Dhaka Additional Metropolitan Magistrate Md Sultan Sohag Uddin on Monday passed the order after a hearing.

Mirza Abbas’ lawyer Mohiuddin Chowdhury confirmed the matter to Jago News. 

Earlier on Thursday, the BNP leader was shown arrested in nine separate cases filed with Ramna and Paltan Model Police Stations in the capital.

Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Rajesh Chowdhury and Dhaka Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Sultan Sohag Uddin accepted separate pleas to show him arrested in five cases with Paltan Model Thana and four cases with Ramna Police Station, respectively.

On October 28, a chaos broke out as BNP leaders and workers entered into a clash with police in the city's Nayapaltan and its surrounding areas during BNP's grand rally.

Amid the clash, BNP men allegedly attacked on the residence of the Chief Justice (CJ) and broke one of its gates and damaged its nameplate.

A total of 11 cases were filed against Abbas following the incidents.

The BNP standing committee member was arrested from city’s Shahidbagh area by police on October 31 and was placed on a five-day remand.
