Gazi Md. Gias Uddin Bashir :
The court has sent former Public Prosecutor (PP) of Jhalakathi District and Sessions Judge Court, former president of Jhalakathi Bar and president of District Krishak League Abdul Mannan Rasul to jail without granting bail.
When the Jhalakathi Judge appeared in the court on Sunday morning, Jhalakathi Senior District and Sessions Judge Md. Rahibul Islam ordered to send him to jail without granting his bail application.
He is an accused in 6 cases including the attack on Jhalakathi Bar Association, arson at the district BNP office, and attack on Advocate Shahadat Hossain’s house. This Awami League leader had been absconding since the fall of the Sheikh Hasina government on August 5 last year.
Awami League lawyer Muhammad Nasir Uddin Kabir and former APP Boni Amin Baklai appeared in court for the accused in four cases. The same court is scheduled to hear the other two cases of the accused on March 18.
While talking to media workers after the rejection of bail for former PP Abdul Mannan Rasul, Jhalakathi District BNP member secretary and District Bar Association president Advocate Shahadat Hossain said, ‘Despite being a lawyer, Mannan Rasul attacked lawyers and filed false cases against 22 lawyers. That case has been proven false in court. The lawyers who appeared in the hearing on his behalf today have lost their ethics.’
Awami League lawyer Abdul Mannan Rasul, president of the District Krishak League, was the Public Prosecutor (PP) and president of the Lawyers’ Association in Jhalakathi for 15 consecutive years from 2009 to 2024. No one else could take this position in Jhalakathi due to the sole decision of local MP Amir Hossain Amur.
