A Dhaka court on Sunday scrapped bail pleas of four persons accused of illegally stockpiling different coronavirus safety equipments, and sent them to jail.
The four accused are – Anwar Hossain, Amit Basak, Shoaib and Shuvro.
Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Ziaur Rahman passed the order as police produced them before the court after the end of their one-day remand in the case and pleaded to keep them behind bars for the sake of proper investigation.
