A Sylhet magistrate on Tuesday sentenced two Bangladesh Chaatra League activists to two months in prison for misbehaving with him (the magistrate) during an anti-electric vehicle drive in the city.
The two accused were identified as Mazed Ahmed, 27, and Tarek Ahmed, 30, both members of the Sylhet district unit of BCL.

The incident occurred when executive magistrate of Sylhet City Corporation Md Motiur Rahman Khan, leading a mobile court, went to fine Mazed for wrongly parking his motorcycle at Ambor Khan point.
As the magistrate asked to see his driving license and other documents, Mazed said: "I have no documents, but I have links with the top people in the administration. I will see how you seize my bike."
He called out another BCL man, Tarek, to join him and then both of them allegedly misbehaved with the magistrate.
