Taimur freed on HC bail

BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia’s Adviser Taimur Alam Khondaker has been released from jail hours after the High Court and a Narayanganj court granted him bail in two separate vandalism cases.

Taimur’s daughter Mar-e-um Khondaker told The Daily Star that her father walked out of jail in Narayanganj around 5:00pm.

The HC bench of Justice Md Rezaul Haque and Justice Muhammad Khurshid Alam Sarkar granted him bail after hearing two separate petitions filed by Taimur seeking bail in the cases.

Taimur secured bail from the courts today, two days after he was arrested in Narayanganj city in connection with the cases filed for vandalising vehicles and setting fire on those on January 19, 2015 during BNP-led alliance agitation.
