Mohiuddin gets 3-month bail on health ground


The High Court (HC) yesterday granted bail for three months to Chittagong City Corporation (CCC) Mayor ABM Mohiuddin Chowdhury on health grounds.

A division bench comprising Justice Khademul Islam Chowdhury and Justice M Ashfaqul Islam passed the order on a petition.

The joint forces arrested Mohiuddin Chowdhury at his residence in the port city on March 7 on charge of corruption.

The CCC mayor was rushed to Chittagong Medical College Hospital from Bandarban jail following a heart attack on May 14. Later, he was shifted to Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University in the capital as his condition deteriorated.

Dr Kamal Hossain appeared for the petitioner.
