Staff Correspondent: A Dhaka court sent four accused to jail on charge of protesting the removal of the statue of Greek goddess from the Supreme Court premises.

Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Satyabrata Sikdar passed the order on Saturday noon.

Earlier, SI Mirza Badrul Hasan of Shahbagh police station produced the accused before the court.

The four accused are- including Liton Nandi, general secretary of the Chhatra Union central committee,  Dhaka College Sangsad president Morshed Halim, Lalbagh Thana Students’ Union activist Joy and Udichi leader Arif Noor.
