New Age Online

The High Court on Tuesday granted interim bail to Tanvir Rahman, now detained in connection with the sensational murder case of journalist couple Golam Sarwar Sagar and Meherunessa Runi.The bench of Justice Md Nizamul Huq and Justice SH Md Nurul Huda Jaigirdar also asked the government to explain why Tanvir would not be granted regular bail.The court issued the order after hearing a petition filed by The National Human Rights Commission seeking Tanvir’s bail.

Attorney General Mahbubey Alam opposed the bail petition, saying Tanvir had played role in the murder.Mahbubey Alam said he would ask the authority to submit charge sheet to the court over the case as soon as possible.The commission’s lawyer Fawzia Karim Firoze submitted that Tanvir Rahman, deputy manager of Scholastica School, was illegally detained in jail without any specific charge against him since his arrest in October 2012.
He (Tanvir) was languishing in jail without trial as there was no progress in the investigation since the journalist couple was killed on February 11, 2012, said the commission lawyer.Tanvir was arrested from Tejgaon area on the allegation that his mobile number was found in the mobile call list of Runi.
