Bangladesh Jatri Kalyan Samity Secretary General Mozammel Hoque Chowdhury has been released from Dhaka Central Jail.
“Mozammel was released at 8:40pm on Thursday (Sept 13),” Jailer Mahabubul Islam Milon told Bangla Tribune.
Earlier in day, a Dhaka court rejected a petition filed for showing Mozammel arrested in a case filed under Explosive Substances Act.
The rights activist and road safety campaigner remanded for a day hours after he was arrested on Sept 6 in a case filed over extortion.
Police arrested Mozammel from his Sanarpar house in Narayanganj two days after the extortion case was filed with the Mirpur Police Station in Dhaka on Sept 4.
One Md Dulal has brought charges against Mozammel of demanding Tk 200,000 from him.
Mozammel has been vocal against frequent road accidents by reckless driving for long.
