JU Student Murder
4 BCL activists denied bail
A Dhaka court yesterday rejected bail petitions of four Bangladesh Chhatra League (BCL) activists accused in the murder of Jahangirnagar University (JU) student Zubair Ahmed.
The four -- Najmul Hossain Plabon, Kamruzzaman Sohag, Mazharul Islam and Mahamudul Hasan Masud -- are suspended students of JU.
They are among 13 accused in Zubair murder case filed with Ashulia Police Station.
Judge Md Abdul Majid of the Dhaka District and Sessions Judge's Court passed the order after defence lawyers submitted separate criminal appeals seeking bail against a lower court rejection order.
Judicial Magistrate Washim Shiekh of the Chief Judicial Magistrate's court rejected their bail prayers and ordered to send them to jail on July 16.
An activist of a BCL faction, Zubair was also an honours final year student of English department at JU. On January 8, members of a fellow BCL faction brutally tortured and stabbed him on the campus over previous enmity.
He succumbed to his injuries the following day.
