BNP Vice Chairman and former minister Major (retired) Hafiz Uddin Ahmed has been sent to jail in connection with a sabotage case filed with Gulshan Thana in 2011.
Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Rajesh Chowdhury’s court passed the order on Tuesday (5 March), rejecting a bail petition filed by him.
Earlier, on 28 December 2023, the same court sentenced him to 21 months' imprisonment under two separate sections.
According to the case statement, participants from an illegal rally in front of Mohakhali Wireless Gate’s Water Tank attacked police officers and obstructed them from performing their duties. The case statement also noted that they vandalised and torched vehicles.
Later, on 29 April 2014, Gulshan Thana Sub-Inspector Kamrul Hasan Talukder filed the charge sheet with the court.
The trial against the accused commenced after charges were framed against them on 25 April 2022.
