A Dhaka court on Tuesday granted bail to Bangladesh Jatri Kalyan Samiti secretary general Mozammel Hoque Chowdhury in an extortion case filed with Mirpur police station.
Metropolitan Magistrate Md Mazhraul Haque passed the order after hearing his bail plea, which filed earlier in the day by his lawyer Jyotirmoy Barua.
Confirming the news, Mozammel’s lawyer Jayedur Rahman told Jago News that the bail would not help him to walk out of jail as he Kafrul police sought to a court to show him arrested in a case filed under the explosives act.
Police arrested Mozammel Hoque Chowdhury from his Sanarpar home in Narayanganj around 3:00am on September 6 in the case.
Mozammel was placed on a day’s remand for interrogation hours after he was arrested.
