Threat to PM
Delwar gets anticipatory bail
The High Court (HC) yesterday granted anticipatory bail for two months to BNP Secretary General Khandaker Delwar Hossain in four cases filed on charge of threatening Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.
An HC bench of Justice Syed Muhammad Dastagir Husain and Justice AKM Zahirul Hoque passed the orders after hearing four petitions filed by Delwar seeking bail in the cases.
The court also issued four separate rules upon the government to explain within four weeks why Delwar should not be granted regular bail in the cases.
Four local Awami League leaders on different dates filed the cases in Bogra, Chittagong, Sirajganj and Dhaka against Delwar on charge of threatening the prime minister from a BNP rally in Muktangan of Dhaka on July 25.
The BNP leader yesterday appeared before the HC bench for bail in the cases.
Advocate Khandker Mahbub Hossain and Barrister Badruddoza Badal appeared for the petitioner.
