DHAKA, Oct 30, 2023 (BSS) - A court here today sent Mian Zahidul Islam Arefy,
a self-proclaimed adviser of US President Joe Biden, to jail.

Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Ali Haider passed the order as police produced
Arefy before the court and pleaded to keep him behind the bars till the probe
ends.

A Gopalganj resident named Mohiuddin Shikder filed the case against Arefy,
BNP leader Ishraque Hossain and Lt Gen (retd) Hasan Sohrawardi, on October 29
with Paltan Model Police Station.

Arefy was seen talking to newsmen sitting beside BNP leader Ishraque Hossain
at the party's Nayapaltan central office late Saturday at a press briefing.

The man was heard saying that he was in constant touch with Biden being a
"member of the national democratic committee" and assured the opposition of
US President's support to ensure regime change in Bangladesh.
