Chowdhury Naiab Yusuf, the eldest daughter of BNP Vice-Chairman Chowdhury Kamal Ibne Yusuf, was released from Faridpur Jail on bail after three days after of detention.
She was arrested following a case filed over the killing of a local Awami League leader during an election campaign, a few days ahead of the 11th general election held on December 30 last year.
Naiab was released on Wednesday following an order issued by Judge Md Helal Uddin of Faridpur District and Sessions Judge's court after her lawyer Shahidulla Jahangir filed a petition seeking her release.
According to the case statement, local Awami League leader Yusuf Bepari was severely injured during a scuffle between his men and local BNP leaders and activists over sitting on a bench at a tea stall, at Goldangi village in Sadar upazila on December 11.
Later, the Yusuf succumbed to his injuries at Faridpur Medical College Hospital.
Following the incident, brother of the deceased, Sohrab Bepari, filed the case accusing 38 people including Naiab with the Kotwali police station.
The court granted permanent bail to Naiab Yusuf after the plaintiff admitted no objection on her bail plea.
