Twenty BNP men, including former organising secretary of the party's Gabtoli upazila unit Atiqur Rahaman Atiq, were sent to jail after their bail petitions were rejected yesterday in a criminal case filed in August last year. The BNP men, accused of ransacking Gabtoli Railway Station, beating up the station master and setting fire to an engine of a train at the station on the night of August 25 last year, appeared before the Judicial Magistrate's Court for bail. The BNP men went on the rampage on the night protesting alleged assault on Tarique Rahman in custody. Station Master Shazidur Rahman filed the case on August 26.
