A court in Dhaka on Sunday sent Bangladesh Nationalist Party leader Sadeque Hossain to jail after rejecting both bail and remand prayer. Metropolitan magistrate Syed Atiqur Rahman passed the order after the Tejgaon police sub-inspector Md Abu Zafar Talukder Manik produced Sadeque seeking him to be remanded in custody for 10 days for interrogation in a case filed following an incident that took place in front of Halim Community Centre under Tejgaon police station on October 26.
Defence counsel Sanaullah Mia pleaded for bail for Sadeque.
Earlier, Sadeque was remanded in police custody for two days for interrogation in a case filed with Shahbagh police station for setting a bus on fire on November 28 that killed three people and injured 16 others.
Sadeque was arrested by the Rapid Action Battalion at Uattra in the capital on December 5.
The court ordered the prison authority to provide him with division facilities in jail.
