HC orders disposal of Shahidul’s bail plea by Tuesday

A vacation bench of Justice Md Rezaul Haque and Justice Abu Taher Mohammad Saifur Rahman issued the directive after disposing of a petition filed by Shahidul Alam’ wife and columnist Rahnuma Ahmed seeking the bail.

Earlier on September 4, another High Court vacation bench declined to hear Shahidul Alam’ bail application on the plea that a judge felt embarrassed and referred the matter to the Chief Justice for his decision.

On the night of August 5, Shahidul Alam was picked up at his Dhanmondi residence and took him to the office of the Detective Branch for interrogations during which he was tortured physically and mentally.

Sara Hossain and Jyotirmoy Barua appeared for Shahidul Alam while attorney general opposed granting the celebrity photographer’ bail.
