seeking bail in a case filed over vandalising Chief Justice's residence during
a BNP rally on October 28.
Advocate Sagir

The BNP secretary
general was arrested in the case on October 29. Later, a bail petition was
filed with the Chief Metropolitan Magistrate (CMM) Court of Dhaka. The court
sent him to jail rejecting his bail petition.
