Anisul Huq sent to jail in SCBA polls rigging case


A Dhaka court has sent to jail former law minister Anisul Huq in a case lodged over rigging of Supreme Court Bar Association (SCBA) polls in 2019, reports BSS.
Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Shahin Reza passed the order on Friday as police produced Huq before the court after end of his five-day remand and pleaded to keep him behind the bars in the case lodged with Shahbagh Police Station.
Anisul Huq was arrested from the Sadarghat area as he along with Salman F Rahman was trying to flee the capital through the waterways on August 13.
Supreme Court lawyer ABM Ibrahim Khalil filed the case on September 30 for allegedly getting SCBA members attacked by police and Awami League cadres on March 15, 2019, and rigging the polls, using fake ballots.
