The High Court yesterday granted anticipatory bail for eight weeks to two pro-BNP lawyers in a case filed on charge of assaulting a police in the Supreme Court Bar Association (SCBA) building last month. Golam Mohammad Chowdhury Alal and ABM Waliur Rahman, who were also deputy attorney general during the BNP-Jamaat led alliance government, got bail after they appeared before the HC in connection with the case. Some lawyers assaulted MA Jalil, sub-inspector of Shahbagh Police Station in the SCBA building on August 4 when he went there in plainclothes to investigate another case filed on August 2. MA Jalil on August 4 filed a case against nine pro-BNP lawyers, including Alal and Waliur on charge of assaulting him and preventing police to discharge duties. Alal and Waliur on September 19 jointly filed a bail petition with the HC, as other seven accused earlier got released on bail after they surrendered before the trial court in the case.
