Lawyers and general people outside the Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Court of Dhaka today threw eggs at one of the police vans in the column of vehicles carrying Salman F Rahman, private industry affairs adviser to former prime minister Sheikh Hasina, and Anisul Huq, former law minister.
The incident took place around 6:15pm when police vehicles entered the court premises ahead of the hearing.
