A Dhaka court has sent Bangladesh cricketer Arafat Sunny to jail declining appeals for both a fresh remand and bail on Sunday.
The 30-year-old cricketer, along with his mother, is under investigation for demanding dowry from a woman, claiming to be his wife. The international player has been charged under the Women and Children Repression Prevention Act.
The local police wanted Arafat for a seven-day remand, but the court ordered him to be sent to jail, according to United News of Bangladesh (UNB) reports.
Dhaka Metropolitan Judge Sarafat Jaman Ansari also turned down an appeal for bail from Muraduzzaman Murad, Arafat’s lawyer.
Last month, the cricketer was arrested by the police for allegedly circulating sensitive pictures of his girlfriend on the social media platform.
Arafat is the third Bangladesh cricketer to be arrested after Shahadat Hossain and Rubel Hossain.
Sunny has played 16 ODIs and 10 T20Is for the national team.
