BNP acting secretary general Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir was granted bail by a Dhaka Court on Thursday in a case filed for vandalism and assaulting police at Postagala under Kadamtoli Police Station on December in 2012. Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Alamgir Kabir Raj passed the order this afternoon. Earlier at noon, Mirza Fakhrul surrendered before the court in the case. On September 18 in 2014 Metropolitan Magistrate Md Yunus Khan issued a arrest warrant against Mirza Fakhrul and two others-Nasir Hossain and Mohammad Ali-as they failed to appear before the court on Sunday. The court fixed September 26 for the submission of the execution report of the arrest warrants. According to the case, the charge-sheeted men blocked roads in the Kadamtali area of the capital on the Postagola-Narayanganj Highway in front of Eagle Box Factory during a protest programme in December 2012. The case details say they torched and vandalised vehicles, attacked law enforcement officials with stones and brick chips and set an oil tanker-truck on fire. According to the charge sheet, Fakhrul was found to have provoked the BNP activists to carry out the violence and vandalism.
