Their lawyers, however, argued for their bail.
After hearing both sides, the court granted the two accused bail.
The two allegedly took Tk9.2 lakh in bribes from an accused in a case, in front of the Registrar General's office on 10 July. After the concerned judge learned the matter, he summoned the Supreme Court security team and handed the two accused to the concerned police station.
High Court bench Officer Sujit Kumar Biswas later filed the case with Shahbagh Police Station.
