Samrat gets bail in all cases, no bar on release

Expelled Jubo League leader Ismail Hossain Chowdhury Samrat has secured ad-interim bail in a case filed for siphoning off around Tk 222 crore and channelling it to casinos in Singapore and Malaysia between 2011 and 2018.

 

Judge Al Asad Md Asifuzzaman of the Special Judge Court-6 of Dhaka on Wednesday granted him bail on grounds that he had been in jail since October 6 of 2019.

 

The judge also directed Samrat to submit his passport before the court while furnishing bail bond.

 

With the bail order, he has secured bail in all cases filed against him and there is no legal bar for his release from jail, said his lawyer Gazi Zillur Rahman.

 

Earlier, Samrat was granted bail in money laundering, arms and narcotics cases considering his health conditions.
