The High Court has granted six months’ ad-interim bail to Mahmudul Hasan Mohin, the prime accused in the murder case over the killing of scrap trader Lal Chand alias Sohag in front of Mitford (Sir Salimullah Medical College) Hospital in Old Dhaka in July last year.
Court sources confirmed the matter on Thursday.
Earlier, on September 28, a High Court bench comprising Justice Md Ruhul Quddus and Justice Syed Hasan Zubair issued a rule and granted him bail.
Attorney General Md Ruhul Quddus Kazal said on Thursday that an application had been filed seeking a stay on the bail order.
On July 9, 2025, a group of people brutally killed Lal Chand in broad daylight on a busy road in front of Mitford Hospital.
