Observer Online Report

Former lawmaker and Jamaat-e-Islami leader Major (retd) Akhtaruzzaman has sought bail from the High Court in a case over creating a disturbance at the airport.

A High Court bench comprising Justice KM Zahid Sarwar Kajol and Justice Md Zakir Hossain is scheduled to hear his bail petition on Sunday (November 1).

Senior lawyer Shishir Monir confirmed the matter, saying they would seek bail during the hearing.

Earlier, on October 26, Judge Md Sadekin Habib Bappi of the Dhaka Additional Metropolitan Sessions Judge Court-5 rejected his bail petition.

Akhtaruzzaman was arrested by the Detective Branch (DB) of Dhaka Metropolitan Police from his residence in the DOHS area of Dhaka Cantonment on the afternoon of October 2.

The following day, a court granted police one-day remand for interrogation. After the remand, the court rejected his bail petition on October 4 and ordered him to be sent to jail.

According to the case statement, tensions erupted at the airport on October 1 over mismanagement, a shortage of luggage trolleys, delays in receiving baggage and the unavailability of Zamzam water.
