A Dhaka court yesterday denied bail to BNP leader Sadeque Hossain Khoka in three cases filed in connection with hartal violence and skirmishes in Dhaka during a Hefazat-e-Islam gathering.
Metropolitan Sessions Judge Md Jahurul Haque passed the order after hearing on the bail petitions in the cases, which also include charges of obstructing police, vandalism and arson attacks during the then BNP-led opposition-enforced hartals.
Meanwhile, the High Court yesterday granted six week’s anticipatory bail to BNP Standing Committee member Khandakar Mosharraf Hossain in a money laundering case filed by the Anti-Corruption Commission.
The bench of Justice Naima Haider and Justice Zafar Ahmed passed the order.
On Thursday, the ACC registered the case against Mosharraf, alleging that he had siphoned off approximately Tk8 lakh to the UK during his tenure as the health minister between 2001-2006.
