A court of Chattogram has turned down the bail plea of Babul Akter, former police superintendent, in a case filed with Panchlaish police station over killing his wife Mahmuda Khanam Mitu.
Chattogram Metropolitan Magistrate (CMM) Shafi Uddin passed the order on Tuesday in a virtual hearing.
Shahabuddin Ahmed, assistant commissioner (prosecution) of Chattogram Metropolitan Police (CMP) told Prothom Alo that the prosecution rejected the arguments of Babul Akter’s lawyers for his bail plea.
Following the hearing of both parties, the court rejected Babul Akter’s plea and sent him to prison. Mahmuda Khanam Mitu was hacked and shot dead on 5 June in 2016 at GEC intersection in Chattogram.
