A Dhaka juvenile court on Thursday rejected the bail petition of Dhaka College student Hasnatul Islam Faiyaz in a case filed over the killing of a police constable during violence centring on the quota reform movement in Jatrabari area on July 19.
Judge Roksana Begum Happy of Juvenile Court-3 passed the order after Faiyaz鈥檚 lawyer submitted an application, seeking bail in the case.
On July 28, Dhaka metropolitan magistrate Shanta Akhter placed Faiyaz on a seven-day remand treating him as an adult, even though they had submitted all documents in support of treating him as a juvenile.
Amid criticism over placing the 17-year-old Faiyaz on remand and producing him before court tying with ropes, the case was transferred to juvenile court, and the court later cancelled his remand.
Following a writ petition on July 29, the government told the High Court that taking Faiyaz on remand and tying him with ropes was a mistake.
The government also said that it would take steps so that such mistakes were not repeated.
