Ex-planning minister Mannan denied bail; lands in jail

A Sunamganj court today sent former planning minister MA Mannan to jail after rejecting a bail petition in a case over the attacks on students and people during the recent student-led movement in the district.

Sunamganj Speedy Trial Tribunal Judge Nirjan Mitra passed the order after hearing the prayer for bail, said the plaintiff's lawyer Mashuk Alam.

Law enforcement agencies arrested the former minister from his residence in Shantiganj area under Jagannathpur upazila on 19 September.

He was accused in the case filed by one Hafiz Ali, brother of a victim who was injured in clashes with the law enforcers and Awami League supporters in the district on 4 August.

Meanwhile, the district witnessed a mixed reaction over the arrest of the former minister.

A group of people staged a demonstration for the release of Mannan while another group opposed it demanding punishment of the former minister and accusing him of amassing illegal wealth.

On Sunday, some students under the banner of general students took position in front of Shantiganj upazila parishad along Sunamganj-Sylhet road, demanding release of Mannan.

In Pagla Bazar of the upazil, another group of students formed a human chain demanding an exemplary punishment of the former minister.
