Sultan Salahuddin Tuku, president Jatiyatabadi Chhatra Dal, has been freed from Dhaka Central Jail after he secured bail from the High Court.
The jail superintendent Partha Gopal Banik told the news agency that Tuku was released on Thursday afternoon. JCD's Dhaka University unit senior joint convenor Obaidul Haque Nasir was also released the same day.
JCD leaders and activists received them at the jail gate.
Tuku was arrested on July 5 in a case filed over the killing of one Faruq Khan in an arson attack in a pre-hartal violence at Moghbazar, Dhaka on June 26 last year. Although Tuku managed to secure bail in the case, he still wasn't released as some other cases were also filed against him.
The court on Wednesday directed the police not to arrest Tuku and Nasir from the jail gate without its order.
Central JCD joint convenor Anisur Rahman Talukder Khokon, who was arrested on July 12, was also released on Wednesday afternoon.
