The High Court again denied bail to wanted Jamaat secretary general and ex-Minister Ali Ahsan Mohammad Mujaheed in Barapukuria coalmine corruption case yesterday and ordered him to surrender to the trial court within two weeks.

However, the HC asked the police “not to arrest or harass” him within this intervening period.

The court orders came as Mujaheed, carrying warrant of arrest over his head for the last 13 days surrendered to the HC bench of Justice M Anwarul Haque and Justice Farah Mahbub. Earlier on June 3, another High Court bench denied him bail. Mujaheed then moved to the Supreme Court for redress, but the chamber judge dismissed his bail prayer on October 8 as being “not pressed” by his lawyer. বিস্তারিত »
