Rifat murder: Nazmul seeks bail from HC

Nazmul Hassan, one of the accused in Barguna’s Rifat murder case, filed a bail petition with the High Court (HC).

The petitioner moved to HC as he failed to secure bail from Barguna court.

The bench of Justice AKM Asaduzzaman may hear the bail petition on Wednesday.

Nazmul’s lawyer Md Sagir Hossain confirmed the news.

On June 26, Rifat, 25, an internet service provider, was hacked to death in broad daylight in Barguna town.

A video footage of the incident went viral on social media and sparked outrage across the country.

Rifat’s father filed a murder case with Barguna Sadar Police Station on the day of the murder.

Prime accused in the case, Nayan Bond, was killed in a ‘gunfight’ with police on July 2.
