The High Court on Wednesday granted interim bail to suspended Awami League leader Saidul Karim Mintu in the case filed over the abduction and murder of former MP Anwarul Azim Anar.
The court also issued a rule asking why he should not be granted permanent bail.
Mintu, the then-general secretary of the Jhenaidah District unit of the Awami League, was arrested in June last year.
Anar, a three-time lawmaker from Jhenaidah-4, travelled to India on May 12, 2023, for medical treatment.
He had been staying at a friend’s house in Baranagar, West Bengal, and went missing the next day.
Five days later, his friend filed a missing report with local police.
On May 22, Indian media reported that Anar had been murdered in a flat in New Town, Kolkata.
