A court here today scrapped BNP secretary general Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir’s bail plea in a vandalism case lodged over attack on the official residence of the chief justice (CJ) during BNP’s grand rally in the city’s Nayapaltan area on October 28.
Metropolitan Sessions Judge Court’s Acting Judge Foysal Atiq Bin Kader passed the order after hearing in the case.
On October 28, a chaos broke out as BNP leaders and workers entered into a clash with police at city’s Nayapaltan and surrounding areas during BNP grand rally. During the clash, BNP men allegedly attacked the residence of the Chief Justice and broke one of its gates and damaged its nameplate.
Police filed the case with Ramna Police Station against 59 leaders and activists of BNP,
