Manna gets bail

Mahmudur Rahman Manna, Nagorik Oikyo Convener, has been given bail in a case filed on charge of instigating the armed forces to topple the government with Gulshan Police Station.

The High Court bench of Justice Syed Muhammad Dastagir Husain and Justice Md. Ataur Rahman granted Manna bail on Thursday.

Manna was arrested on February 24 last year, a day after his telephone conversations with BNP leader Sadeque Hossain Khoka about strengthening the anti-government movement, among many issues, were leaked.

A case was filed with Gulshan Police Station on February 25, bringing charges against him of instigating the armed forces.
