The court of Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Mostafizur Rahman rejected the bail petition of the Opposition leaders on Tuesday.
Police had sought 7 day remand for the BNP leaders in a case of the killing of sub-inspector Shahjahan on May 5, the day Hifazat-e Islam held a rally in Dhaka.
The court ordered two days in police custody for the BNP leaders following the hearing.
The court rejected the police's plea for a 20-day remand, in two other cases involving vandalism caused by Hifazat-e-Islam, 10 days each.

It granted the investigating officers 10 days to question the accused at the jail gate.

The two BNP leaders were produced before the court for the hearing.

Sanaullah Miah, Borhan Uddin and Masud Ahmed Talukder argued for the BNP leaders in the hearing.

Violence erupted in the May 5 rally and the police had to crack down hard to foil the group from staying put at the Shapla Chattar in Motijheel.

At least 14 people had been killed in the violence and clash with law enforcers.

Police had filed 16 cases, including three murder cases, in connection with the incidents, accusing BNP and Jamaat-e-Islami leaders along with Hifazat leaders of involvement.
