MK Anwar released from jail

The Standing Committee member of Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) MK Anwar was released from jail on Friday afternoon.

The High Court on Thursday granted six-month interim-bail to MK Anwar in two violence cases filed with Bhatara and Wari police stations in the capital.

Sayrul Kabir Khan, a staff of BNP chairperson’s media wing said bail documents reached the hospital this afternoon.

He was attending treatments at Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University’s prison cell because of old age complications.

The accused BNP leader filed two petitions with the HC on December 20 last year seeking bail in the cases.
