DHAKA, Jan 9, 2024 (BSS) - BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir
has been shown arrested in nine separate cases filed with Ramna and Paltan
Model Police Stations in the capital.

The police pleaded to show him arrested in those cases as he was produced
before the court this afternoon.

Dhaka Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Sultan Sohag Uddin today
accepted the plea to show Mirza Fakhrul arrested and scheduled the bail
hearing for tomorrow (Wednesday, January 10) when his lawyer Joynul Abedin
filed a petition seeking bail in the nine cases.

Earlier on December 31, Dhaka Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Rezaul Karim
Chowdhury fixed today for hearing Fakhrul's bail petitions in the nine cases.

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 the residence of the Chief Justice
(CJ) and broke one of its gates and damaged its nameplate.

A total of 11 cases-- eight with Paltan Model Police Station and three with
Ramna Model Police Station-- were filed against Fakhrul following the
incidents.

On October 29, the BNP Secretary General was arrested from his Gulshan
residence by the Detective Branch (DB) of Police and they sent him to jail
later.
