A Jamalpur court on Tuesday denied bail to 10 accused including expelled UP chairman Mahmudul Alam Babu, the main accused in the murder case of journalist Golam Rabbani Nadim in Jamalpur's Bokshiganj.
Advocate Yusuf Ali, the plaintiff's lawyer, said that the bail application hearing of 10 people, including Babu, was held at the Jamalpur Chief Judicial Magistrate Court on Tuesday afternoon.
In view of the application of the accused, after the arguments of both sides, the judicial magistrate Md Ataullah denied the bail of the 10 accused.
The 10 accused are suspended Sadhurpara Union Council chairman Mahmudul Alam Babu, Rezaul Karim, Moniruzzaman Monir, Golam Kibria Sumon, Milon Mia, Ohiduzzaman, Kofil Uddin, Shahid, Zakirul and Fazlu Mia.
Meanwhile, Bokshiganj police station Officer-in-Charge (OC) Sohel Rana said that according to the interrogation of the accused in connection with the murder of journalist Nadim, the police have arrested a person named Noyon Mia for his involvement in the murder.
So far, 14 people have been arrested in connection with the murder of journalist Nadim. Earlier, Babu and his two accomplices Rezaul and Moniruzzaman Monir gave confessional statements in the court under Section 164 in this case.
Nadim, who had been seriously injured in an attack allegedly by some supporters of Babu in the Pathati area of Bokshiganj upazila on June 14, died at Mymensingh Medical College Hospital the next day.
He was the Jamalpur correspondent for Banglanews24.com and a Bokshiganj upazila correspondent for Ekattor Television. He was also a member of the Jamalpur Press Club.
A case was lodged against 47 people naming now-suspended Sadhurpara union parishad (UP) chairman Mahmudul Alam Babu as the key accused in connection with Nadim's murder.
