HC defers hearing on Minni's bail plea until tomorrow

The High Court (HC) has deferred until tomorrow (Thursday) the hearing on the bail petition of Aysha Siddika Minni in a case filed over the killing of her husband Rifat Sharif, reports UNB.

An HC bench of Justice Sheikh Md Zakir Hossain and Justice Md Mostafizur Rahman passed the order following a petition filed by Minni.

On Monday, Mozammel Hossain, father of Minni, filed a petition with the HC bench concerned seeking bail for Minni.

Rifat Sharif (22) was attacked with sharp weapons near the main gate of Barguna Government College on June 26. Minni appeared to be trying to protect him during the attack.

Police have so far arrested 16 people over the murder. Besides, main accused Sabbir Ahmed alias Nayon Bond was killed in a reported gunfight with law enforcers on July 02.

Police arrested Minni on July 16 over the murder of her husband and was denied bail several times. She reportedly confessed to her involvement in the murder before the court on July 19, two days after her arrest.
