Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Mohammad Ehsanul Islam
passed the order following a petition by police, said defence lawyer Morshed
Hossain Shahin.
He said, “We applied for his bail and division in
jail. The court later sent him to jail, granting him division as per the Jail
Code.”
Earlier, on 5 August, Akhteruzzaman was arrested
from a house in Gulshan by the Detective Branch (DB) of Dhaka Metropolitan
Police. The accused was placed on a three-day remand on 10 August.
According to the case documents, on the morning of
18 June, 35–40 leaders and activists of the banned Awami League and its student
wing Chhatra League brought out a procession in the Mohakhali Bus Terminal area.
They allegedly chanted anti-government slogans and
carried out various anti-state activities, including exploding cocktails and
creating panic among people.
Police later filed the case with Tejgaon Police
Station under the Anti-Terrorism Act over the incident.
