Lawmaker Rana gets bail
The High Court yesterday granted bail to Tangail's Awami League lawmaker Amanur Rahman Khan Rana in freedom fighter Faruk Ahmed murder case, clearing the way for his release.
Earlier, the court had denied him bail in the same case for four times on different reasons.
Yesterday, the HC granted ad-interim bail to Rana and also issued a rule asking the government to explain why Rana should not be granted regular bail in this case.
Rana's lawyer Advocate Rusho Mostafa told The Daily Star that there is no legal bar to his client's release from jail following the HC order.
Meanwhile, Deputy Attorney General Shaikh AKM Moniruzzmana Kabir told this correspondent that the government will move an appeal before the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court for staying the HC order.
The bullet-hit body of freedom fighter Faruk, also a district AL leader of Tangail, was found on January 18, 2013. Later, a murder case was filed.
