COMILLA: A Comilla court on Wednesday (Oct 3) rejected bail to BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia in a case filed on charge of burning eight persons to death in Chauddagram of Comilla.

Judge Biplab Debnath of Comilla Cognizance Court-5 passed the order, as the hearing ended on Wednesday (Oct 3). 

Now Khaleda’s lawyers will file petition at the district & session judge court for her bail, said Advocate Kaimul Huq Rinku.
