The High Court today ordered the government to abstain from arresting or harassing BNP leaders Abdul Awal Mintoo and Mir Mohammad Nasir Uddin in two cases until further orders.
Abdul Awal Mintoo is the joint convener of BNP’s Dhaka city unit and an adviser to BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia while Nasir Uddin is a vice-chairman of the party.
Mintoo was accused in a vandalism case, filed by Shahbagh police, over the clash in Bakshibazar on December 24 during a graft case hearing of the party’s chief.
