Dhaka: A Dhaka court on Monday refused the bail petition of Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) joint secretary general Ruhul Kabir Rizvi in a violence case.

The court also rejected police’s plea seeking seven days for quizzing Rizvi in the case.

The Dhaka Metropolitan magistrate Shamsul Arefin ordered to interrogate Rizvi at the jail gate within three working days.
