Multiple injuries were found on the body of college student Mosarrat Jahan Munia, who was found dead at a Gulshan flat in April this year, the High Court said citing the autopsy report.
The bench of Justice Mustafa Zaman Islam and Justice KM Zahid Sarwar said this on Wednesday while hearing a petition for anticipatory bail sought by Bashundhara Group Managing Director Sayem Sobhan Anvir and his wife in a case involving the rape and murder of the college student.
The court struck off Anvir from the petition but granted a six-week anticipatory bail to the Bashundhara top official’s wife and moved to hear the next matter pending with the bench.
When Anvir’s counsel Yusuf Hossain Humayun continued to argue, the court stopped him and said: "The autopsy report says there were multiple injury marks on the body. We have several other matters to hear. For now we are granting bail to one of the accused [Anvir’s wife]."
The bench then proceeded to hear the next matter and advised the lawyer to file a separate petition.
