Ex-state minister Azad surrenders, obtains bail


The High Court (HC) yesterday granted ad interim anticipatory bails for four weeks to former state minister Lutfar Rahman Azad and Gopalganj BNP President MH Khan Manju after they surrendered to the court in connection with criminal cases filed against them.

A division bench comprising Justice Nozrul Islam Chowdhury and Justice Zubayer Rahman Chowdhury passed the orders on separate petitions.

Azad is facing a theft and cheating case while Manju a murder case, court sources said.

Barrister Rafique-ul Huq appeared for Azad while Moudud Ahmed for Monju.
