Ex-MP Ali Azam Mukul sent to jail in Nahidul murder case
A court here today sent former Bhola-2 lawmaker Ali Azam Mukul to jail in a case lodged with Mirpur Model Police Station over the murder of student Nahidul Islam.
Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Md Sefatullah passed the order as police produced Mukul before the court and pleaded to keep him behind the bars. The defence, however, argued for his bail.
Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) arrested Ali Azam Mukul from the capital's Hazaribagh area on November 13. Nahidul was killed on July 19 while taking part in Anti-Discrimination Student Movement in the capital's Mirpur area. His cousin filed the case on September 1 against 41 people.
