The High Court on Sunday directed the Bogra police to pray to the local court to cancel the bail of three people, who are allegedly involved in grabbing the land of Mahasthangarh archaeological site.
They are Khokhon Sarkar, Sajub Sarkar and Saiful Islam.
The HC bench of AHM Shamsuddin Chowdhury Manik and Justice Sheikh Md Zakir Hossain also ordered the police to pray to the lower court for placing them on remand in this connection.
The court said if the lower court rejected the remand prayer, they will have to apply to the higher court for their remand.
Superintendent of police of Bogra Humayun Kabir, Officer-in-Charge (OC) Mokazzem Ali of Shibganj Police Station and OC of Sadar Police Station Khalequzzaman on Sunday appeared before the bench as per its earlier order.
They told the court that they had arrested Khokon, Sabuj and Saiful on charge of grabbing the archeological heritage and prayed for their remand to a Bogra court.
But they were released on bail as the court granted them bail rejecting their remand prayer.
The SP told the court that he is not capable to discharge function as a member of the committee formed earlier to recommend ways to protect the historical archaeological site and its adjacent mosque and shrine because he remains busy with his other official work.
After hearing his statement, the bench deleted the name of the SP from the committee and replaced him by the chief executive officer of the district council of Bogra.
The bench fixed April 6 for further orders on this issue.
The bench also directed the police to ensure security of the Bogra correspondents of The Daily Star and Prothom Alo and custodian of Mahasthangarh Archaeological Museum Naheed Sultana and their family members.
Hasibur Rahman Bilu of The Daily Star, Milon Rahman of the Prothom Alo and Custodian Naheed Sultana on March 2 appeared before the court and said some people involved in land grabbing in the name of developing the shrine are threatening to "punish" them through mobile courts by filing false cases.
On the same day, the same bench summoned the SP to appear before it on Sunday to explain why the people, who are allegedly involved in grabbing the archaeological site, were not placed on remand.
