Neutral summary
A Dhaka court on Monday rejected the bail petition of Major (retd) Akhtaruzzaman, a former BNP-linked MP who joined Jamaat-e-Islami, in a case over disorder at Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport on October 1 over luggage and trolley delays. The case alleges he verbally abused and physically assaulted an on-duty security official, Group Captain SM Ragib Samad according to one outlet, and also made remarks about the aviation minister. Defence lawyers Shishir Manir and Abdur Razzaq argued the incident involved only an exchange of words and was not a criminal offence; Razzaq said he protested alleged irregularities. State lawyer Omar Faruk Faruqui opposed bail, citing media coverage and the investigation. Police arrested him on October 2, he received one day's remand, and was sent to jail on October 4.
Where accounts differ. Daily Naya Diganta says the court rejected bail again on October 26, after an earlier rejection on October 4, while the other outlets describe only the Monday ruling; Naya Diganta and Waadaa differ on the arrest location and remand request, and only Waadaa names the official and the minister remarks.

About this method
Method. Bias types follow the Table of Media Bias Elements and the Media Bias Taxonomy (both CC BY 4.0). The impartiality rules follow the BBC Editorial Guidelines and the Ofcom Broadcasting Code. The score is calculated from the seven answers, never generated.
What this is not. No outlet gets a standing bias rating, and there is no left/right axis, because that axis does not describe Bangladeshi politics. Each analysis covers one article about one event. Members' analytics count how each outlet's headlines were labelled over a chosen period, with the number of headlines behind every share, and also show the average score of an outlet's scored articles: that average describes those articles (mostly each story's lead), not the outlet, and outlets are never ranked by it or by any share.
Known limits. Headlines are grouped into stories automatically, so an unrelated headline sometimes slips in; it is shown faded rather than hidden. Where outlets carry the same wire copy, the comparison has little to show. Human annotators agree on bias in Bangla news only moderately (κ = 0.574 at best), which limits what any automated score can claim.
