DHAKA, Sept 17, 2025 (BSS) - A court here today sent former Chairman of Dinajpur Zila Parishad Md Delwar Hossain and nine others to jail rejecting their bail petitions in connection with a case lodged under subversive acts.

Senior District and Sessions Judge of Dinajpur Md Alamgir Kabir passed the order this afternoon.

Those who were sent to jail are former Chairman of Dinajpur Zila Parishad and former President of District Jatiya Party Md Delwar Hossain, 74, his son Nishan Hossain, 25, Nababganj Upazila Awami League General Secretary Shah Md Ziaur Rahman, 48, Joint General Secretary Md Sanwar Hossain Mondal, 45, Joypur Union AL President and Upazila’s former Vice-Chairman Md Ainul Haque, 55, Md Azizul Haque, 62, Md Jaminur Rahman, 44, Md Mominul Islam, 35, Md Azizur Rahman, 65 and Md Sajedur Rahman Sabuj, 42.

Police sources said that on August 4, 2024, at 2:00 pm, during the anti-discrimination student-public movement, the accused held a secret meeting at the Awami League office in Tapanghat area of ??Nawabganj upazila of the district. 

Later, leaders and activists of the Awami League and their affiliated bodies, carrying country-made weapons and explosives, threw cocktails at the student-public anti-discrimination procession in front of the party office following orders of former MP Shibli Sadik and his uncle Delwar Hossain and attacked the student-public with sharp knives, iron rods, Chinese axes and other country-made weapons.

In this incident, on January 8, Md. Nazrul Islam (40), a resident of Tapanghat village in Nawabganj upazila of the district and a Swechchhasebak Dal activist, filed a murder case against 500 unknown people with the Nawabganj police station, mentioning the names of 75 accused. 

On May 18, the arrested accused in that case applied for bail in the High Court, and the court ordered them to appear in the lower court and apply for bail. 

According to the order, the accused had previously appeared in the Dinajpur District and Sessions Judge's Court and applied for bail, and the judge had granted them 8 weeks' bail on a security bond of Tk 5,000 each.

When the 8-week period of the arrested accused expired, they again applied for bail in the court through their lawyers today (Wednesday). 

After hearing the bail petition, the judge rejected their bail and ordered them to be sent to jail.
