The High Court has granted bail to suspended jailer of Chittagong Jail Sohel Rana in a graft case filed by Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC).
The virtual bench of Justice Md Nazrul Islam Talukder passed the order on Tuesday, reports UNB.
Lawyer Md Khurshid Alam Khan stood for ACC, deputy attorney general AKM Amin Uddin Manik for state and lawyer Nahid Sultana Jyoti, and Shakila Rawshan for Rana.
AKM Amin Uddin said Sohel has been granted the bail until submission of charge sheet on condition of submitting his passport to court.
On October 27 in 2018, Sohel was arrested with a bag on Bijoy Express train while he was on the way to his hometown in Mymensingh from Chittagong.
Searching Sohel's bag, police recovered fixed deposit receipts (FDRs) worth around Tk2.50 crore, Tk44.43 lakh in cash and 12 bottles of phensedyl.
Police later filed two separate cases with Bhairab Railway police station against Sohel under the Money Laundering Act and Narcotics Control Act.
