Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Mahmuda Akter rejected Nawshaba’s bail petition, but gave permission for her treatment at the Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University on Monday.
The actress and model, now undergoing treatment at the Dhaka Medical College Hospital, appeared in court on a wheelchair for the hearing.
Nawshaba went live on Facebook in the afternoon on Aug 4 and claimed two protesters had been killed and another had his eyes gouged out during clashes at Jigatala. She, however, was at a shooting site at Uttara at that time.
The law enforcers detained her later on that day and police started a case against her under the ICT Act.
She fell ill after six days of grilling in two rounds of police custody on Aug 13. She was denied bail several times beforehand.
AH Imrul Kawser, the lawyer for Nawshaba, said the actress has to choose her bed carefully and follow doctor’s advice to move after a spine surgery in India a few years ago.
He claimed Nawshaba had no ill motive behind spreading the rumours, but had received wrong information.
The government alleges there were attempts to topple it by using the non-political student protests.
