A Dhaka court on Monday sent two more accused to jail in a case filed over the vandalism and looting at content creator Salman Muqtadir’s studio, ‘Brown Fish’, at ECB Chattar in the capital.
The accused are Md Shah Alam, 47, and Md Abul Ashem, 53.
Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Arifur Rahman passed the order after a hearing, said Prosecution Department Sub-Inspector Tarekur Rahman.
Cantonment Police Station Inspector Subrata Debnath, also the investigation officer of the case, produced the accused before the court and sought their detention in jail until completion of the investigation.
According to the detention plea, a preliminary investigation had found the allegations against the accused to be true and that
their release on bail could hamper the investigation or lead them to abscond.
During the hearing, defence lawyers Md Jasim Uddin and Farid Uddin sought bail for the accused, while the prosecution opposed the petitions. After hearing both sides, the court rejected the bail petitions and ordered them to be sent to jail.
