Former mayor of Rajshahi City Corporation Mizanur Rahman Minu was released on bail today.

Minu is now undergoing treatment at Rajshahi Medical College Hospital (RMCH), reports our Rajshahi correspondent.

Senior Jail Super of Rajshahi Central Jail Shafikul Islam Khan told The Daily Star that Minu earlier got bail in five of six vandalism cases filed against him.

“We received the bail documents of the last case today and guards appointed at the hospital for Minu were withdrawn around 7:00pm,” he said.

The BNP leader was taken to the intensive care unit (ICU) of RMCH from the prison on September 9 after he fell sick during a dental surgery.

On July 13, Minu was sent to jail after he surrendered before a Rajshahi court.
