Dhaka: The High Court on Thursday turned down a bail petition of Awami League MP Amanur Rahman Khan Rana in freedom fighter Faruk Ahmed killing case.

A two‐member HC bench comprising Justice AKM Asaduzzaman and Justice Razik‐Al‐Jalil rejected the petition considering that it was not properly placed.

Rana is a charge‐sheeted accused in the case.

When Rana appeared before Tangail Additional District and Session’s Judge court ending his 22‐month fugitive run on 18 September last, the court sent him to jail.

Faruk Ahmed, a senior AL leader and a freedom fighter, was shot dead in the district town on 18 January, 2013.

In February 2016, detectives pressed charges against 14 people, including the ruling party MP and his three brothers, in the Faruk murder case.
