Kabir Humayun: A Dhaka court yesterday rejected the bail of former BNP lawmaker Mofiqul Hasan Tripti in connection with the murder of Prof Aftab Ahmed.
Metropolitan Magistrate Mohammad Fahad Bin Amin Chowdhury ordered to send Tripti to jail, reports The Daily Star.
Earlier in the day, a short hearing on the 10-day remand prayer submitted by Criminal Investigation Department inspector Subrata Kumar Shaha was held.
The court kept the 10-day remand prayer into the case file as the matter of the incident is pending with the High Court.
Advocate Masud Ahmed Talukder told the court that his client on May 29 last year got ad-interim bail from the High Court.
The court asked law enforcement agencies not to arrest Tripti without any arrest warrant from any court. So the arrest by the CID was a gross-violation of the HC order.
CID arrested Tripti from his Banani residence in the capital on August 8.
On September 23, 2006, three unidentified youths entered the residence of Prof Aftab, a senior professor of political science at Dhaka University (DU) at Fuller Road on DU campus.
He succumbed to his injuries four days later.
