Court Correspondent :
The Chief Metropolitan Magistrate (CMM) Court of Dhaka on Sunday granted bail to Toronto University student Tahmid Hasib Khan, who was arrested Under Section 54 of the CrPC in
connection with the Gulshan terror attack. Magistrate Laskar Sohel Rana of the CMM Court passed the order after hearing on a bail petition filed by Tahmid’s counsel.
On September 28, inspector Humyaun Kabir of the Counter Terrorism and Transnational Crime (CTTC) unit of Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) submitted a report to a court to relieve Tahmid, a Bangladeshi-origin Canadian from the charge.
On August 20, a court sent Tahmid to jail rejecting his bail plea when he was produced in the court on completion of his remand period in connection with the terror attack. A team of the CTTC unit arrested Tahmid on August 3 from the city’s Bashundhara area for his suspected link to the attack. He was shown arrested Under Section 54 of the CrPC.
Tahmid was rescued along with 12 others during the commando operation at the Holey Artisan Cafe at the city’s diplomatic zone Gulshan on July 2 following a 12-hour hostage standoff.
His family members claimed that he had remained traceless since then. However, law enforcing agencies said they set him free after interrogation about the café’ attack.
