Brig Gen (retd) ASM Hannan Shah, adviser to BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia, was released on bail from Dhaka Central Jail on Tuesday evening following a High Court order on Sunday.
The HC had granted him the bail in a case linked with alleged violation of the emergency power rules, and issued a rule upon the government to reply why he should not be exonerated from the case.
Amir Khasru has more on the story.
