The Supreme Court (SC) today (January 25) upheld its chamber judge's order that stayed the High Court bail for suspended UP chairman Mahmudul Alam Babu, the prime accused in Jamalpur's journalist Golam Rabbani Nadim murder case.

A five-member bench of SC headed by Chief Justice Obaidul Hassan passed the order.

Following the order, Babu cannot get out from jail, Deputy Attorney General Sarwar Hossain Bappi confirmed.

Nadim, who was the Jamalpur district correspondent of Banglanews24.com and also the Bakshiganj upazila correspondent of Ekattor TV, died on June 15 last year, a day after being attacked allegedly by supporters of Mahmudul.
