Alal sent to jail

Staff Correspondent
Twenty-two BNP men including its youth wing Juba Dal President Syed Moazzem Hossain Alal were denied bail and sent to jail yesterday in a case filed for damaging and torching vehicles in front of the BNP's central office on Tuesday. Metropolitan Magistrate Mohammad Rezaul Karim scrapped their appeal for bail when they were produced before his court. On October 3, police arrested Alal from the party's central office in the capital. Later, a Dhaka court sent him on a two-day remand. Police filed three cases against over 500 pro-opposition leaders and activists with Paltan and Ramna police stations in connection with the incident.
