A Dhaka court Tuesday ordered Dhaka University professors Anwar Hossain and Harun-or-Rashid into jail after eight days' remand in two phases, reports bdnews24.com.
They were produced before the Dhaka Chief Metropolitan Magistrate's Court at 4.0pm. The investigating officer of the case did not seek further remand for them and appealed to court to send them to jail.
Metropolitan magistrate Md Hasan Sarwar did not consider bail petitions for them, as the case was filed under emergency powers rules.
A separate appeal was made for proper medical treatment and division for the teachers in jail. The magistrate ordered the jail authorities to take steps in line with the jail code.
Their lawyer Advocate Syed Rezaur Rahman in the hearing on the appeal for treatment and jail division said both teachers were suffering from diabetes and high-blood pressure.
After a 20-minute hearing, the magistrate read out his order. When the lawyers wanted to know whether there was any appeal for showing the accused persons arrested in any other case, the magistrate said he does not know anything about it.
