A total of 89 BNP leaders and activists of Chandpur secured anticipatory bail from the High Court today in a criminal case filed on charge of preventing police from discharging duties and injuring them during a clash.

The High Court directs its registrar to file a criminal case against five persons including three accused of a drug case for securing bail through submitting forged documents to this court.

A tribunal in Dhaka asks the prison authorities to produce five war crime suspects from Patuakhali before it on October 1.

Legal action will be taken against accused in criminal cases if they run for Dhaka city polls without securing bail, DB official says
