Dhaka, Jan 6 (UNB) – The Appellate Division on Sunday cancelled the 6-month High Court bail of suspended Shahjadpur municipality mayor Halimul Haque Miru over Daily Samakal's Shahjadpur correspondent Abdul Hakim Shimul murder.
A four-member bench led by Chief Justice (CJ) Syed Mahmud Hossain passed the order after hearing a leave to appeal petition.
The SC also asked the lower court of Sirajganj to dispose of the case within six months.
On November 4, the High Court granted bail to Halimul Haque Miru.
Earlier on February 2, 2017, journalist Shimul was shot during a clash between a Chhatra League faction and Shahjadpur Mayor Halimul Haque Miru's supporters.
Later, Shimul’s wife Nurun Nahar filed a case accusing 18 people including Miru.
