Shahin Bapari, one of the lawyers for the accused, said the case was started on bailable charges. “They did not have any intention of violence. And they entered the street after the prime minister’s motorcade had left,” he claimed.
“The accused are good students. They are studying in various institutions, including Dhaka University. Besides these, Shahriar is the son of a senior lawyer of this court. He himself or former Bar Association general secretary Iqbal Hossain will be the bailsman,” Bapari said.
The judge said the court usually try to consider bail for close relatives of lawyers. But since the case is sensitive, so he coud not grant them bail for technical reasons.
