The High Court has granted bail to exiled journalist Kanak Sarwar’s sister Nusrat Shahrin in two separate cases.
The bench of Justice Md Habibul Gani and Justice SM Mozibur Rahman passed the order on Monday.
Earlier, on January 25, the court issued a rule asking why she should not be granted bail in the cases.
Advocate Jamiul Haque who appeared for the defendant said the High Court issued a rule on January 25 asking why Shahrin should not be granted bail in the Digital Security Act case.
After the hearing, the court granted her bail in the case as well as another case under the Narcotics Control Act, he added.
Now there is no obstacle for Shahrin's release, he said
On the night of October 4 last year, Shahrin’s house was raided and she was arrested.
Two cases were filed against her at Uttara West police station — under the Narcotics Control Act and the Digital Security Act.
