A Dhaka court sent embattled ruling party MP, Golam Maula Rony, to jail Thursday rejecting his bail prayer in a case filed for assaulting two television journalists, reports UNB. Dhaka metropolitan magistrate SM Ashiqur Rahman passed the order when Awami League MP's lawyer submitted a petition seeking his bail. A team of DB police arrested the embattled MP, who came to the spotlight after assaulting two journalists of a TV channel, from his vehicle in the city's Badda area on Wednesday hours after an arrest warrant issued against him by court. Earlier, the court issued a warrant for the arrest of Rony cancelling his bail granted in a case filed by Yunus Ali, an Independent TV official, for assaulting the journalists. On Monday, complainant Yunus Ali, an Independent TV official, filed the petition with the court seeking cancellation of Rony's bail. Yunus alleged that he received a death threat over cellphone from an unknown caller on July 21, the day Rony obtained the interim bail. Later, Yunus lodged a complaint with Shahbagh Police Station stating that Rony and his men have been issuing threats to withdraw the case after the accused secured bail. Rony along with his supporters on Sunday last reportedly assaulted Independent TV reporter Imtiaz Momin Sony and cameraman Mohsin Mukul Bakul when they went to Rony's office on the 9th floor of 'Meherba Plaza' at Topkhana Road in the city to verify some allegations against the MP.
