Falu gets bail after 'falling sick' in court

Court Correspondent
Mosaddak Ali Falu, an adviser to BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia, yesterday fell sick in the dock after a court rejected his bail prayer, and an hour later, he got bail.
Metropolitan Magistrate Shahriar Mahmud Adnan at first ordered him to be sent to jail for violating a High Court order. At that, Falu fell sick and his lawyer petitioned for bail on health grounds, this time successfully.
The case in which he was seeking bail was filed in connection with an arson attack on a bus near the capital's Badda Link Road on February 1.
In his first order, the magistrate said the HC on June 18 granted Falu ad-interim bail till submission
of the police report in the case. Though police submitted a charge sheet against Falu and 59 others of the BNP-led alliance on July 1, Falu did not surrender before the court.
So his bail petition was rejected and he would be sent to jail immediately, he added.
Falu, who had been standing in the dock looking just fine until then, suddenly started complaining about breathing difficulties and squatted just as the magistrate was about to conclude the proceedings for the day.
His lawyer then drew the court's attention to his client’s sudden illness and again pleaded for bail.
This time the magistrate granted the petition on special consideration, cancelling his earlier order.
Falu, who owns one of the largest
infotainment TV channels of the country, was then helped outside the court by his men.
On February 1, detectives picked up Falu from in front of Khaleda's Gulshan office. He was later shown arrested in several arson cases, including this one.
Later in June, he was released on bail.
In another development, Jatiyatabadi Chhatra Dal President Rajib Ahsan was sent to jail after his six-day remand in three arson cases ended yesterday.
The chief of the BNP's student wing was held, along with five others, for allegedly being in possession of contraband Yaba pills in Patuakhali on July 19. Later, he was shown arrested in the three cases, all for arson attacks that took place early this year.
