| 2009-08-21 |
| [Bangla Daily Star] The government will formally submit petitions on August 23 seeking cancellation of the bails granted to two Harkatul Jihad (Huji) members in connection with the August 21 grenade attack cases. Meanwhile, detained former deputy minister and BNP leader Abdus Salam Pintu yesterday filed a bail petition with the High Court (HC) in the same cases against a rejection order by a lower court. Earlier on August 12, Judge Masdar Hossain of the Speedy Trial Tribunal-1 of Dhaka granted bails to Munshi Mohibullah, brother of Huji chief Mufti Abdul Hannan and one of his accomplices Arif Hassan Sumon. Senior assistant superintendent of police (ASP) of Criminal Investigation Department (CID) Abdul Khar Akond yesterday submitted the two petitions to Advocate Syed Rezaur Rahman, chief prosecution counsel, for action. The cases were earlier sent back from speedy trial tribunal to the previous courts on August 18, as the trial of the cases would not be completed in 135 workdays under the Speedy Trial Tribunal Act. |
