Bail plea of Swechasebak League leader Sheikh Jamal scrapped

DHAKA, Dec 11, 2024 (BSS) - A court here today scrapped a plea
filed by the Swechasebak League leader Sheikh Jamal for bail 
in a case lodged over the murder of Juba Dal leader Shamim.

Acting judge of the Dhaka Metropolitan Sessions Judge Court Ibrahim Miah passed the order after holding hearing on the plea.

A team of detective branch (DB) arrested Jamal, also a journalist by profession, from his Moghbazar home on October 24.

According to the case documents, BNP called a grand rally on October 28, 2023. Awami League also called its own rally in the capital to foil this programme. At one stage, Awami League activists, with the help of police, attacked the BNP's rally in Naya Paltan, killing Shamim on the spot.

The case was filed with the capital's Paltan Police Station on September 24.
