Desk News: Former justice A.H.M. Shamsuddin Chowdhury Manik, who was arrested while attempting to cross the Dona border in Kanaighat, Sylhet, into India, has been granted bail by the court. However, due to pending cases in other parts of the country, the court has ordered that he remain in custody.
On Tuesday morning (September 17), Judge Anjan Kanti Das of the Sylhet Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate Court approved Manik’s bail.
Earlier, on the night of August 23, Manik was apprehended near the Dona border with the assistance of some local youths while attempting to flee to India through a forested area. The Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) was responsible for his capture. The next morning, on August 24, he was handed over to Kanaighat Police Station. He was subsequently charged under Section 54 of the Penal Code and presented before the court, which ordered his detention.
This arrest has sparked widespread attention due to Manik’s former role as a justice, and the developments in his case will continue to be closely monitored.
