Gulshan attack suspect Hasnat Karim denied bail

Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Md Sazzadur Rahman scrapped the petition submitted by his counsel Shah Mohammad Shahab-Uddin the same day. On Monday, another court sent Hasnat to jail after police produced him before it on completion of his eight-day remand. Hasnat is the only person arrested in connection with the July 1 militant attack on a Gulshan eatery, the worst in Bangladesh’s history, that killed 24 people including 17 foreigners. Hasnat, a former North South University teacher, was formally arrested on August 3. Police detained another survivor, University of Toronto student Tahmid Hasib Khan, the same day. He was sent to jail on Saturday after his remand ended.
