A Dhaka court has sent a Jubo League leader to jail for hiring a person to serve his term.

The Jubo League leader, Nazmul Hasan, surrendered and applied for bail in the court of Dhaka's Eighth Additional Metropolitan Sessions Judge Aminul Islam on Monday afternoon. After the hearing, the court denied bail and ordered him to be sent to jail.

Earlier on Sunday, the High Court ordered Nazmul Hasan to surrender before the court within 24 hours after a report published in the newspaper about the sentence transfer caught the court's attention.

In August 2020, the Narcotics Control Department raided a house in Uttara and arrested Anwar Hossain with a large quantity of phensidyl and cannabis. At that time, the prime accused, Nazmul Hasan, a Jubo League leader of Ward-54 in Dhaka’s Uttara, managed to flee the scene.

Later, the Narcotics Control Department filed a case against two people in connection with the incident. As the trial proved the crime, the lower court sentenced the fugitive Nazmul Hasan to seven years' imprisonment. Following this verdict, a person named Mirazul Islam surrendered to the court, assuming the identity of Nazmul, and went to jail.

Mirazul Islam appealed against the lower court's verdict and was released on bail after spending 11 days in jail. Later, news of this incident was published in the media.
