Erfan Selim, son of MP Haji Mohammad Selim, has been released from jail after he secured bail in all cases against him.
Erfan, who was sacked as the councillor of a ward under Dhaka South City Corporation after “assaulting” a navy officer, was arrested on various charges on Oct 25 last year.
Subhas Ghose, superintendent of Dhaka Central Jail in Kerainganj, said they released Erfan on Wednesday afternoon.
Erfan’s aide Mohiuddin Ahmed Belal said Erfan first visited the grave of his mother Gulshan Ara, who died while he was in jail.
The MP’s son is staying at his grandfather’s home on Devidas Lane of Old Dhaka. Haji Selim is the MP from the Awami League. Erfan’s father-in-law Ekramul Karim Chowdhury is also an MP from the ruling party.
The Supreme Court on Apr 25 upheld the bail granted to Erfan in a case over “assaulting” the navy officer in Dhanmondi.
The state’s petition to appeal the bail set by the High Court was scrapped by a six-member virtual appellate bench led by Chief Justice Syed Mahmud Hossain.
