A Dhaka court on Wednesday sent former lawmaker Kabirul Haque Mukti and Bangabandhu Foundation President Mozammel Haque to jail after completion of a six-day remand for each in a case filed with Gulshan Police Station.
Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Md Sefatullah passed the order after the police produced the accused before the court seeking their detention.
On 24 September, the law enforcers arrested them in the capital’s Niketan area. The next day, a Dhaka court placed them on a six-day remand.
According to the case statement, leaders and activists of the banned Bangladesh Chhatra League and the Awami League held a procession in the Gulshan area on 12 September.
They chanted anti-state slogans to destabilise the country and attempted to vandalise vehicles to cause public fear.
The police also found that the accused were involved in social media groups on Messenger, WhatsApp, and Telegram using their phones to run campaigns aimed at organising themselves allegedly to destabilise the state and destroy its infrastructure.
