The High Court bench of Justice Md Shawkat Hossain and Justice Fatema Najib passed the order after hearing a bail petition filed by Nazmul.
Advocate Helal Uddin Molla appeared in the court on behalf of Nazmul while Deputy Attorney General AKM Aminuddin Manik stood for the state.
Police arrested Nazmul on July 25 from Narail for spreading rumour that ‘Human head will be needed for construction of Padma Bridge’ on Facebook.
