Ariful freed on bail

SYLHET: Over two years after his arrest, suspended Mayor of Sylhet City Corporation Ariful Haque Chowdhury was released from jail on bail yesterday, reports UNB.
Ariful walked out of the Sylhet Central Jail around 5:15pm after the bail orders in four cases, including two murder cases, reached the jail, said jail sources. BNP leaders and activists, some SCC councillors and the family members received Ariful at the jail gate.  On December 30, 2014, a Sylhet court sent Ariful to jail when he surrendered before the court in the former finance minister Shah AMS Kibria murder case, seeking bail. 
On March 22, 2016, he was granted bail for 15 days on the grounds that his mother was ill and Ariful filed a bail petition after surrendering before a lower court as ordered by the High Court. Five people, including Kibria, were killed and 70 others injured in a grenade attack on a public rally of local Awami League at Baidder Bazar in Sadar upazila of Habiganj district on January 27, 2005.
