Comilla court to hear Khaleda's bail petition on Sept 30

A Comilla court on Thursday set September 30 for a murder case bail petition hearing filed by BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia in connection with the arson attack in Comilla on Feb 3, 2015.

Senior Judicial Magistrate court-5 Judge Golam Mahbub Khan set the date after a time petition was filed by the prosecution, said Khaleda’s lawyer, Advocate Kaimul Haque Rinku.

Eight people were killed and at least 20 others were injured when assailants hurled a petrol bomb at a bus in Jogmohanpur of Chouddagram during the BNP-led alliance’s movement on February 3, 2015.

Two cases, one under the Explosive Substances Act, and another for murder, were filed over the incident.
