A Dhaka court on Wednesday rejected the bail petitions of BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir and Standing Committee Member Mirza Abbas in a case filed with Paltan Police Station.
Dhaka Metropolitan Session Judge Asaduzzaman turned down the petitions when their lawyers sought bail for them, reports UNB.
Syed Joynal Abedin Mezbah, a lawyer of the BNP leaders, said it is the 4th time that the top BNP leaders have been denied bail in the case.

Earlier on December 15, a Dhaka court again rejected the bail petitions of the two BNP leaders in the case.
A Dhaka court ordered to give a division facility to them on December 9 and then they were given the division facility on December 13.
According to the case statement, they were accused of instigating, planning and directing an attack on the police.
