The interim bail of University of Science and Technology Meghalaya (USTM) Chancellor Mahbubul Hoque, in connection with a case registered at Dhekiajuli Police Station, has been extended till April 25. The hearing on Wednesday remained inconclusive as the case diary was unavailable.
Haque was re-arrested in March 2025 in relation to a case registered under Dhekiajuli Police Station (Case No. 55/2025). Acting on a production warrant issued by the Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate's Court in Sribhumi, Sonitpur Police took him into custody from Sribhumi District Jail.
The case, lodged by complainant Mukshed Alom, includes serious charges under sections 318(4), 316(5), and 336(3) of the Indian Penal Code, as well as Section 11(1) of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA), indicating potential links to unlawful activity.
As per reports, Hoque will be produced before the Tezpur court on March 13, 2025. His arrest follows multiple legal battles despite securing stay orders from the Gauhati High Court in three other cases registered at Barpeta, Kokrajhar, and Gossaigaon police stations.
Earlier, Hoque and five of his associates were in judicial custody at Sribhumi Jail. However, only he has been transferred to Dhekiajuli for further investigation.
