DHAKA, Sept 24, 2025 (BSS) - A Dhaka court today sent former general secretary of banned Bangladesh Chhatra League (BCL) Ajay Kar Khokon to jail, rejecting his bail petition in a case filed under the Anti-Terrorism Act.

Metropolitan Magistrate Juwel Rana, on behalf of the Chief Metropolitan Magistrate (CMM), passed the order after Detective Branch (DB) of police produced Khokon before the court following his arrest from the city's Gulshan area.

DB sought his confinement in jail until completion of the investigation, while Khokon's lawyer submitted a bail prayer, which the court turned down.

According to police, Khokon and his associates had gathered near Jabbar Tower 
in Gulshan on April 22 to bring out an anti-government procession aimed at destabilizing public safety. They, along with activists of banned BCL and Awami League, allegedly chanted slogans against the government.

A case was filed with Gulshan Police Station that night under the Anti-Terrorism Act.
