4 opposition MPs released on bail

Jamaat MP, 12 BNP leaders of Ctg get bail

Star Report
Four of the five 18-party alliance lawmakers, who are the accused in an arson case, were released from jail last evening following a High Court bail.
Of them, BNP standing committee member MK Anwar and Joint Secretary General Mahbub Uddin Khokon walked out of Dhaka Central Jail around 6:30pm while Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) President Oli Ahmed and Bangladesh Jatiya Party (BJP) President Andalib
Rahman Partha from Kashimpur-2 Jail around 7:30pm.
The HC on Sunday granted the four and BNP's Student Affairs Secretary Shahid Uddin Chowdhury Anne six-week advance interim bail so that they could attend the ongoing budget session of the parliament.
But Anne was not released as he was accused in another case filed with Dhanmondi Police Station on June 8 last year, said Forman Ali, senior superintendent of Kashimpur-2 Jail. "We have already received an order from a Dhaka court which has asked us to produce him before it tomorrow (Tuesday)," he added.
Only the five were granted bail although 29 other opposition leaders submitted 16 bail prayers before the HC after their bail were rejected by the magistrate and sessions judge's courts.
On May 16 and 21, the leaders were sent to jail after a metropolitan magistrate rejected their bail petitions.
On May 10, detectives pressed charges against 45 leaders, including BNP's acting Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir, in the arson case, filed with Tejgaon Police Station in connection with bus torching.
Police earlier arrested BNP Joint Secretary General Ruhul Kabir Rizvi and seven others in the same case.
Jamaat-e-Islami acting ameer Maqbul Ahmed and two others went into hiding after the case was filed.
Meanwhile, our Chittagong Correspondent reports that Jamaat-e-Islami lawmaker ANM Shamsul Islam yesterday was granted an ad-interim bail until June 5 in a case filed for torching vehicles at WASA intersection in the port city on May 13.
Chittagong Metropolitan Magistrate Mahbubur Rahman passed the order when Shamsul Islam prayed for bail after he surrendered to the court.
Kotwali police in Chittagong submitted charge sheet to Chittagong Metropolitan Magistrate court on May 23 accusing the Jamaat MP along with twenty two others in the case.
Besides this, a Chittagong court yesterday granted bail to 12 BNP leaders and activists in three separate cases filed under Speedy Trial Act with two police stations on May 13.
Four BNP activists including Abul Hashem Bakkar, former president of Chittagong city unit of Jatiyatabadi Jubo Dal, was granted bail in two cases filed with Kotwali police.
Eight other BNP activists were granted bail in a case filed with Khulshi Police Station.
