Mayor Minu gets anticipatory bail in extortion case


The High Court yesterday granted anticipatory bail for two months to Rajshahi City Mayor Mizanur Rahman Minu and two other BNP leaders in connection with an extortion case.

An HC division bench granted their prayer as they surrendered before

the court and sought bail.

On April 21, Shamsul Islam Khan, chairman of Evergreen Model College governing body, lodged the case against Minu and 10 others.

The bench, comprising Justice Nozrul Islam Chowdhury and Justice SM Emdadul Haque, upon a petition, passed the orders.

Advocate Khondaker Mahbubuddin Ahmed and Ruhul Quddus Kazal appeared for the petitioners.
