Don denied bail in Salman Shah murder case

 
Actor Ashraful Haque Don, who is in jail in connection with the murder case of film star Salman Shah, has been denied bail by a Dhaka metropolitan sessions court. 

Additional Metropolitan Sessions Judge Tauhida Akter rejected his bail petition on Thursday afternoon. 

Earlier, on October 5, Metropolitan Magistrate Monzurul Islam rejected a similar bail plea. Don’s lawyer, Md Mofizul Islam Aslam, confirmed the latest order.

In the bail petition, the defence argued that two inquest reports, two autopsy reports, and the viscera and chemical examination reports indicated that Salman Shah had died by suicide. The lawyers also cited Don’s prolonged detention as a ground for bail.
