Minni released from jail

Ayesha Siddika Minni has been released from the jail five day after she secured bail from the High Court in a case filed over the murder of her husband Rifat Sharif.

She walked out of Barguna district jail around 4pm after the bail order reached the jail. Minni’s father received and took her to home by an ambulance.  

Earlier on August 29, the High Court granted a conditional bail to Minni in the case.

The bail will be canceled if she talks with media and has to be in custody of her father, the court said. 

On June 26, Rifat Sharif, 22, was attacked with sharp weapons near the main gate of Barguna Government College. Minni appeared to be trying to protect him during the attack.

Police have so far arrested 16 people over the murder. Besides, main accused Sabbir Ahmed alias Nayon Bond was killed in a reported gunfight with law enforcers on July 2.

Police arrested Minni on July 16 over the murder of her husband and was denied bail several times. She reportedly confessed to her involvement in the murder before the court on July 19, two days after her arrest.

On July 31, Minni filed a petition with a Barguna court seeking withdrawal of her confessional statement over the murder.
