The chief judicial magistrate’s court in Dhaka on Sunday rejected three of the four petitions, including the one seeking bail for Oishi Rahman, the prime suspect in the murder of her parents,
Special Branch inspector and his wife.
The court of metropolitan magistrate Anwar Sadat, however, kept pending the third petition.
Defence counsel Prakash Ranjan on Saturday filed the four petitions seeking the ‘psychologically imbalanced’ Oishi to be remanded on bail, her immediate treatment by forming a medical board, her statement as a teenager under Section 164 of the Code of Criminal Procedures not be allowed, the court’s permission to visit the place of occurrence and any legal procedure against
the girl to be conducted in a juvenile court.
Prakash told New Age that the magistrate had rejected three petitions where they sought that Oishi needed to be bailed, she should be immediately treated by forming a medical board, her statement as a teenager under Section 164 of the CrPC should not be allowed, and the defence counsel needed court permission to
visit the place of occurrence in the presence of Oishi and the investigation officer.
The court kept in record the other petition that sought any legal procedure against the girl to be conducted in a juvenile court, Prakash said.
He said that they would seek a revision of the court of the metropolitan sessions judge in a week.
Oishi in her statement in the magistrate’s court on Saturday admitted to being involved in the murder and said that she was repentant.
After recording the statements, metropolitan magistrate Asaduzzaman Nur sent Oishi and their domestic help Sumi to the Juvenile Development Centre at Konabari in Gazipur.
