The hearing of the bail petition began at 2:40 pm and ended at 3:13 pm. Fakhrul was represented by a team of lawyers, including senior lawyer Advocate Masud Ahmed Talukder. He petitioned for bail noting that Fakhrul was 81 years old and had four heart blockages. Two other lawyers representing Fakhrul – Advocate Md Asaduzzaman and Advocate Badruddoza Badol – claimed the attack on the chief justice’s residence was carried out so that the BNP leader would not gain any sympathy from the judiciary. They can be charged if they instruct or induce others to commit the crime, he said.
