Actor Dipjol rearrested at jail gate
Dhaka City Corporation ward councillor and actor Monwar Hossain Dipjol was rearrested at Dhaka Central Jail gate yesterday evening minutes into his release on bail in a police assault case.
Charges for arresting him again, however, could not be known immediately.
Prisons officials told The Daily Star that Dipjol walked out of the jail at about 5:30pm on bail in a case filed for assaulting a traffic police constable on November 16 in the city's Gabtoli area.
A team of the Detective Branch (DB) of police picked him up from near the jail gate, some DB officials confirmed.
Earlier in the day, Judge (vacation) Md Abdul Mazid of the Metropolitan Session Judge's Court granted Dipjol ad interim bail after his lawyer submitted a criminal appeal with the court against a bail rejection order of the lower court.
The Chief Metropolitan Magistrate's (CMM) Court earlier rejected his bail petition.
The film actor allegedly assaulted constable Altaf Uddin for protesting Dipjol's violation of traffic rules in the city's Gabtoli area.
Dipjol surrendered to police on November 28.
He has already been awarded 45 years' imprisonment in absentia on different charges including possessing illegal firearms and ammunition and acquiring wealth through illegal means.
