Faruk Ahmed murder case

SC stays MP Rana’s bail for 4 months

The Appellate Division of the Supreme Court yesterday stayed for four months the High Court order that granted bail to Awami League MP from Tangail-3 constituency Amanur Rahman Khan Rana in the Awami League leader Faruk Ahmed murder case. A three-member bench of the Appellate Division headed by Chief Justice Surendra Kumar Sinha passed the order after hearing a government petition seeking stay on the HC order.
Rana won’t be released from jail following the apex court order, advocate Rusho Mostafa, one of the counsel for Rana, told reporters after the Supreme Court order.
Earlier on April 13, the HC granted bail to Rana in the murder case, clearing the way for him to walk out of jail. The HC bench also issued a rule asking the authorities concerned to explain as to why permanent bail should not be granted to the ruling party MP. Faruk Ahmed, a senior AL leader and a freedom fighter, was shot dead in the district town of Tangail on January 18, 2013. Rana is a charge-sheeted accused in the case. When Rana appeared before Tangail Additional District and Session's Judge court ending his 22-month fugitive run on September 18 last, the court sent him to jail. In February 2016, detectives pressed charges against 14 people, including the ruling party MP and his three brothers, in the Faruk murder case.
