A district court has ordered to sent Nondigram Upazila Chairman to jail in a case filed under the explosives act. Bogra Additional District Judge Sabbir Foyez passed the order rejecting the bail petition of Nondigram Upazila Chairman Nurul Islam Mondol on Monday afternoon. Earlier on March 3, 2013, Jamaat-Shibir activists spread a rumour that war criminal Delawar Hossain Sayedee’s face was seen on the moon using loudspeakers. Jamaat-Shibir activists, after the rumour spread, set fire to 17 government offices of Nondigram Upazila Parishad circle, 15 establishments and seven police stations in different areas of Bogra.
They also burned down different private organisations and households. Police filed 59 cases, including 10 murder cases, accusing over one lakh people in connection with the violence.
