The High Court yesterday granted anticipatory bail to three Jamaat-e Islami leaders including its Dhaka City Unit Ameer Rafiqul Islam Khan in connection with the police assault case.
The other two leaders on bail are the party's Dhaka City unit Secretary General Hamidur Rahman, MP, and its office secretary Aminul Haque.
Around 1,000 activists of Jamaat-e-Islami and Islami Chhatra Shibir clashed with police at the city's Paltan area last Tuesday, injuring at least 25 people, including 10 policemen.
An HC bench of Justice Shamim Hasnain and Justice MR Hasan passed the order after Barrister Moudud Ahmed submitted a petition seeking bail in the case.
The accused Jamaat leaders were also present before the HC bench.
Assistant Attorney General Gazi Mamunur Rashid told The Daily Star that the government will move an appeal to the Supreme Court against the HC order.
