Dhaka: The Appellate Division Chamber Court has suspended the bail granted by the High Court to actress Shomi Kaiser, former president of the E-Commerce Association of Bangladesh (E-CAB), in a case filed at the capital's Uttara Purba Police Station on charges of attempted murder.
Appellate Division Chamber Justice Md. Rezaul Haque gave the order on Thursday (December 12) after hearing the state's application seeking suspension of bail.
At the same time, the state's application has been scheduled for hearing on January 6 at the regular bench of the Appellate Division.
Senior lawyer Ahsanul Karim made the plea on behalf of actress Shomi Kaiser in the court. Deputy Attorney General Md. Zahirul Islam Sumon heard the case on behalf of the state.
Last Tuesday, a High Court bench comprising Justice AKM Asaduzzaman and Justice Syed Enayet Hossain granted three-month bail to actress Shomi Kaiser. Lawyer ABM Hamidul Mejbah represented Shomi Kaiser in the High Court that day.
An attempt to kill a businessman named Ishtiaq Mahmud was made on July 18 during the anti-discrimination student movement. An attempt to kill case was filed at Uttara Purba Police Station on September 29. Shomi Kaiser was arrested in that case. Later, after being remanded, a Dhaka court sent Shomi Kaiser to jail on November 9.
