A Dhaka court today (Oct 27)  sent former lawmaker Barrister Syed Sayedul Haque Suman to jail after his bail was denied on completion of a five-day remand over the attempted murder of Jubo Dal leader Hridoy Mia during the July-August student-led movement.

The court of Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Md Sefatuallh passed the order.

Though the defendant’s lawyer submitted a bail petition, the prosecution opposed it.

After hearing arguments from both sides, the court ordered to send him to jail, said Mirpur Model Police Station’s Sub Inspector Abdul Halim, also investigation officer of the case.

Earlier on 22 October, a Dhaka court placed him on a five-day remand in the case filed with Mirpur Model Police Station.

Suman was arrested from Mirpur-6 at 1:20 am on 21 October.

Before the arrest, Barrister Suman said on his verified Facebook account, "I am going with the police. See you in court. Pray for me, everyone."

Suman was elected as an independent candidate in controversial 7 January polls from Habiganj-4 constituency.
