Dhaka: A court here today rejected the bail petition of former member of parliament (MP) from a women’s reserved seat and Narsingdi district Awami League (AL) women affairs secretary Tamanna Nusrat Bubli in a case filed under the anti-terrorism act. Metropolitan Magistrate of Dhaka Md Saifuzzaman rejected the bail prayer after hearing both the prosecution and defense in the case filed with Tejgaon Police Station.
According to Bangladesh Sangbad Sangstha, Bubli was detained from the capital’s Mirpur area earlier on Sunday. She was later produced before the court of Chief Metropolitan Magistrate, Dhaka, with a request to keep her in jail for the sake of the investigation into the case. Metropolitan Magistrate Minhazur Rahman subsequently sent Bubli to jail and fixed Tuesday for the hearing on the bail petition in the case.
The case details reveal that Bubli, along with leaders and activists of the Awami League, banned Chhatra League, Jubo League, and other affiliated organizations, assembled in front of Ananda Cinema Hall in the Farmgate area of the capital on September 24. They organized illegal processions and marched towards Panthapath from in front of the cinema hall, hurling several crude bombs to create panic among the people.
Following these events, a case under the Anti-Terrorism Act was filed on September 25 with Tejgaon Police Station, naming Bubli as an accused in the case.
