KHULNA, Dec 1, 2025 (BSS) - A Khulna court today (Monday) sent advocate 
Parvez Alam Khan, an Awami League-leaning lawyer, former president of the 
Khulna District Bar Association and former member of the Bangladesh Bar 
Council, to jail in a sedition case.

Khulna Metropolitan Sessions Judge Md Mohiduzzaman passed the order after 
rejecting his bail petition.

Earlier, Parvez secured an eight-week anticipatory bail from the High Court 
on 23 September, 2025. 

Upon expiry of that order, the lower court granted him interim bail from 30 
October to 17 November, which was later extended to 1 December by the acting 
metropolitan sessions judge. 

As the bail period expired, Parvez appeared before the court today seeking 
fresh bail, which the court denied and subsequently ordered him to prison.

According to court sources, on 22 April, 2025 around 4.30 pm, police detained 
advocate M.M. Mojibur Rahman at Moylapota intersection under Sonadanga Police 
Station for suspicious movement. 

Detectives seized his mobile phone and claimed he had been using various apps 
to maintain regular communication with Awami League leaders and activists, 
allegedly conspiring with them to destabilize the country and overthrow the 
government.

Following internal discussions, he was shown arrested under Section 54 based 
on a GD filed with Khalishpur Police Station and later sent to jail by the 
court. 

Subsequently, on 11 August, Bidhan Chandra Roy, Sub Inspector(SI) of 
Detective Branch (DB) of KMP filed a case with Sonadanga Police Station, 
accusing Mojibur Rahman, former prime minister Sheikh Hasina, advocate Parvez 
Alam Khan, former members of parliament Sheikh Helal, and Sheikh Jwel, among 
six individuals, on charges of sedition.

Public Prosecutor Advocate A.K.M. Shahidul Alam Shahid told BSS that Parvez 
is the third accused in the case and had allegedly acted in association with 
the other accused to destabilize the national situation.

 After the expiry of his earlier bail period, he surrendered before the court 
today, which refused bail and ordered him to jail.
