BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir and its standing committee member Mirza Abbas today sought bail from Dhaka Metropolitan Sessions Judge's Court in a case filed over the December 7 clash between police and the party men in Dhaka's Nayapaltan area.
Fakhrul and Abbas submitted the bail petitions after the Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Court rejected their bails on three consecutive dates on different reasons, said Zaynal Abedin Mesbah, one of their lawyers.
Judge Md Asaduzzaman will hear the bail petitions at 3:00pm today.
The case was filed with Paltan Model Police Station on December 8, a day after the clash broke out in front of the party's Nayapaltan office.
The clash left one person dead and scores of others injured.
Law enforcers picked up Fakhrul and Abbas from their homes around 3:00am on December 9.
They were shown arrested on charge of provoking party members to launch an attack on police in the Nayapaltan area.
