Minni’s bail petition placed at new HC bench Ayesha Siddiqa Minni

DHAKA: Lawyers of Ayesha Siddiqa Minni, wife of slain Rifat Sharif, submitted the bail petition before a new bench of High Court. 

The bail petition was submitted before the HC bench of Justice M Enayetur Rahimn and Justice Md Mostafizur Rahman on Sunday (August 18), said Advocate ZI Khan Panna.

Advocate ZI Khan Panna said: "We submitted the bail application to the court No: 17. The list will probably come out on Monday (August 19). The hearing will be held when the list comes.” 

Earlier, lawyers of Ayesha Siddiqa Minni took the bail petition back from the HC in the case filed over the murder of Barguna youth Rifat Sharif.

Lawyers did it when an HC bench of Justice Sheikh Md Zakir Hossain and Justice Md Mostafizur Rahman was about to issue a rule on bail.

Judge Md. Asaduzzaman of district and sessions judge’s court of Barguna rejected the bail petition of Ayesha Siddiqa Minni on July 30.

Ayesha Siddiqa Minni was arrested for her alleged involvement in the murder as well for the sake of proper investigation of the case.

22-year-old Rifat Sharif, from Barguna sadar upazila, was hacked to death indiscriminately by Minni's alleged former husband Nayan Bond and his aides in broad daylight in front of Barguna Government College on June 26.

A shocking video of the brutal attack went viral on the social media, sparking widespread outrage and demand for justice from the countrymen.
