“During the remand, the accused revealed important information that could not be disclosed for the sake of ongoing investigation of the case,” the IO said.
Defense counsels filed separate bail petitions mentioning that they are not involved with the said offence so may be allowed bail.
After a hearing, the court sent them to jail rejecting their bail petition in the arms case filed with Gulshan police station.
