A Dhaka court on Friday ordered to send Shah Newaz Shahanshah, the suspended mayor of Jamalpur's Dewanganj municipality, to jail.
After police produced him in the Dhaka Chief Metropolitan Magistrate's Court, Metropolitan Magistrate Mohammad Jasim hearing both sides, rejected his bail plea and sent him to jail.
Members of Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) had arrested Shahanshah with illegal drugs and cash from a hotel in the city on Thursday.
A case was filed against him on December 17 following the occurrence of insulting the education official whom the mayor slapped.
On December 16, the mayor along with his companions went to the local Shaheed Minar on Dewanganj Govt High School premises to place wreaths when the education official was announcing names of different organizations according to the list.
But, the mayor became angry when the name of the municipality came at number five.
For this reason, at one stage, Shahanshah slapped the education official in public.
On December 21, Local Government Division suspended Shahanshah from his mayoral post while the ruling Awami League also expelled him from the party.
