Former minister of Environment, Forest and Climate Change Saber Hossain Chowdhury has been granted bail in six cases filed at Khilgaon police station, including four murder cases and two attempted murder cases.
The bail order was issued by the court of Dhaka’s Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Mehdi Hasan following a hearing on Tuesday.
Earlier, Saber Hossain Chowdhury fell ill during his remand on Tuesday.
On Monday, police presented Saber Hossain in Dhaka’s Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Court in connection with the murder case of BNP activist Mokbul.
The investigating officer, Sub-Inspector Nazmul Hasan from the Paltan model police station, requested a 10-day remand for him.
In contrast, his lawyer filed a petition for bail, seeking to cancel the remand. After hearing both sides, Dhaka's Additional Metropolitan Magistrate Mahbubul Haque granted a five-day remand for Saber Hossain.
While being taken to the detention center from the court, Saber Hossain was hit by rotten eggs thrown by BNP activists.
Some individuals made remarks about Saber and his lawyer, Ehsanul Haque Shamaji. Additionally, a few attempted to break through the police cordon and assault him.
Police officers intervened, pushing back the attackers and swiftly escorting Saber Chowdhury into the detention center.
Saber Hossain was arrested from the Gulshan area of the capital on Sunday evening.
