NHRC moves HC for Tanvir bail in Sagar-Runi case
Sunday, 13 July 2014
The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) has moved High Court, seeking bail for Md Tanvir Rahman, arrested and currently in jail over the murder of journalist couple Sagar Sarowar and Meherun Runi, according to a news agency.
The bench of Justices Mirza Hussain Haider and Muhammad Khurshid Alam Sarkar asked the petitioner to file an appeal against the judicial court’s bail rejection order at the regular High Court bench after adjourning the hearing Sunday.
The plaintiff’s lawyer Fawzia Karim Firoz later told reporters that the judicial court, on June 26, had rejected Tanvir’s bail plea.
