A Dhaka tribunal on Sunday deferred until January 30 the pronouncement of the verdict in an anti-terrorism case filed against six members of banned militant outfit Hizb-ut-Tahrir, including its chief coordinator Mohiuddin Ahmed, reports UNB.

Judge of the Dhaka anti-terrorism special tribunal Mujibur Rahman passed the order, said special public prosecutor Jahangir Hossain.

With this, the delivery of the judgment in the case has been deferred four times.

The other accused in the case are Hizb-ut-Tahrir joint coordinator Kazi Morshedul Haque Plabon, Tanvir Ahmed, Towhidul Alam Chanchal, Saidur Rahman Ragib and Md Abu Yusuf Ali.

On 27 September 2016, the court framed charges against the six members of the banned militant outfit, including Mohiuddin, in the anti-terrorism case.

On 18 April 2010, police arrested a group of Hizb-ut-Tahrir leaders and activists, including Mohiuddin, while they were a clandestine meeting at Uttara to plan subversive activities against the government and attack important state establishments.

A case was filed against them with Uttara Model police station under the anti-terrorism act.
