Fakhrul denied bail over attack on CJ's residence

A court in Dhaka has rejected the bail petition of BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir in the case of Ramna Police Station over the attack on the residence of the chief justice.

Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Farzana Shakila Sumu Chowdhury passed the order on Thursday after a hearing.

Earlier on Wednesday, Syed Joynul Abedin Mesbah, a lawyer for Mirza Fakhrul, filed the bail plea in the court of Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Mahbub Ahmed.

Mirza Fakhrul got bail in 10 out of 11 cases filed over the clashes between police and BNP men and alleged attacks on different establishments, including the residence of the chief justice at Kakrail in the capital, around the party's October 28 grand rally at Nayapaltan.
