The High Court requested the state to submit an explanation for why Erfan Selim who is currently in jail, should not be granted bail. The rule is due to be submitted in two weeks. The HC bench of Justice Jahangir Hossain Selim and Justice Md Badruzzaman gave the rule after Erfan Selim filed a petition seeking bail. 

Deputy Attorney General Md Bashir represented the state at the hearing, while advocate Sayed Ahmed Raza represented Erfan.
