After spending over a year behind bars, BNP chief’s special assistant Shamsur Rahman Shimul Biswas has been released on bail.
He walked out of the prison in Narsingdi on Saturday (May 4) after the jail authorities received the documents, Shaherul Kabir Khan, a member of BNP chief’s media wing, told Bangla Tribune.
On Feb 8, 2018, Shimul Biswas accompanied Khaleda to the special court in Bakhshibazar before the former prime minister was convicted of embezzling foreign donations made to the Zia Orphanage Trust.
Police arrested him after the verdict sentencing Khaleda to five-year imprisonment in the corruption case.
