22 university students denied bail, sent to jail

Denying bail to them, a Dhaka court on Thursday sent 22 private university students to jail in two cases filed over vandalism and attacks on police, reports UNB.

The accused are students of East West University, North South University, South East University and BRAC University.

Dhaka metropolitan magistrate Satyabrata Shikder passed the order after police produced them before his court on expiry of their two-day remand, rejecting bail petitions filed by their lawyers.

Earlier on 7 August, another Dhaka court placed them on the remand.

On Monday, students of the private universities clashed with police while demonstrating against the attack on students during their demonstration for safe roads in the city.
