Assault Case
Hearing on petition of Imtiaz Jan 15
A Dhaka court yesterday fixed January 15 for hearing on a bail petition filed for Imtiaz Ahmed, son of former president Iajuddin Ahmed, in connection with a case for allegedly assaulting the registrar of Atish Dipankar University of Science and Technology.
Judge Mohammad Zahurul Haque of the Metropolitan Sessions Judge's Court set the date after Imtiaz's lawyer Pran Nath filed a criminal appeal against an order passed by the Chief Metropolitan Magistrate's Court of Dhaka on January 10.
Imtiaz, founder member of the university's trustee board, is also charged for holding the registrar, Kabir Hossain Talukder, hostage in the Gulshan house of the former president and threatening him with death.
Gulshan police picked up Imtiaz along with Sirajul Huq Chowdhury, member of the university's trustee board, and Junayed Ahmed, deputy registrar of the university, from the private university's Banani campus on January 8, the day he assaulted the registrar.
Sirajul and Junayed were later freed against bonds while Imtiaz was shown arrested the next day after Registrar Kabir Hossain filed a case against him with Gulshan Police Station.
