Prof Tajmeri Islam gets bail

Professor Tajmeri SA Islam, an adviser to BNP Chairperson Begum Khaleda Zia and former dean of Dhaka University's Science faculty, has secured bail in a sabotage case.

The court of Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Mahbub Ahmed granted her bail on Tk 10,000 bond after a hearing on Tuesday, Uttara Police Station official Md Liakat Ali confirmed to Jago News. 

Earlier on January 13, the court gave an order to send her to jail after police had arrested her in a sabotage case.

The lawsuit was lodged with Uttara Police Station in the capital on September 23, 2018, accusing Prof Tajmeri and 133 BNP-Jamaat men of committing subversive acts. 

On March 7 last year, police submitted a charge sheet against Tajmeri and 75 accused, and on May 7 of the same year, a court issued an arrest warrant against the professor.
