Daud Merchant freed from jail

Indian terrorist Abdur Rouf alias Daud Merchant has been freed from Dhaka Central Jail.

He was released from jail on Sunday noon and walked out alone as no one came to receive him.

According to court directive, he was freed from the jail, said Additional IG prison colonel Iqbal Hossen.

Earlier on Thursday Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate A K M Moin Uddin acquitted him from the allegation of section 54 of the penal code.

Daud Merchant was arrested in Brahmanbaria in November 2009 for trespassing and possessing a fake Bangladeshi passport.
