National Citizen Party (NCP) Convener Nahid Islam on Monday said the entire incident involving Tahrima Jannat Surovi, popularly known as a “July warrior”, was false and fabricated.
Tahrima, who was granted bail and released from jail on Monday night, did not receive justice, Nahid said while visiting her residence late at night.
“Justice was not served to Tahrima Jannat Surovi. The whole matter was fabricated,” he said, alleging that a section of the media is attempting to defame individuals who were at the forefront of the mass uprising ahead of the upcoming election.
The NCP leader said the incident involving Surovi was part of a continued effort to malign such individuals.
Claiming that vested quarters are involved in destabilising the country and creating anarchy, Nahid urged everyone to remain vigilant.
Earlier on Monday morning, police produced Tahrima before a court, seeking a seven-day remand in connection with a case filed by a journalist over alleged abduction and extortion.
After the hearing, the court granted a two-day remand. As the news spread, students staged demonstrations protesting the remand order.
Later, a revision petition was filed, and the court granted bail to Tahrima on Monday night.
She was later released from jail the same night.
