The court granted him bail on conditions that he will not misuse the privilege of his bail.

There should be an investigation into how the video and audio were published as it is an offence under the law, he said.
Nixon's lawyer filed a petition on Sunday before the court seeking his bail. Later, the court fixed October 20 for hearing.
On October 16, Nawabul Islam, Returning Officer of Charbhadrasan by-election, filed a case against Nixon Chowdhury for violating the election code of conduct.
