Journo Kajol gets bail in all cases; No bar to release

Journalist Shafiqul Islam Kajol on Thursday secured bail in two other cases filed against him under the Digital Security Act.

A High Court bench of Justice M Enayetur Rahim and Justice Md Mostafezur Rahman granted the bail petition.

Now, there is no legal bar for him to walk out from prison as Kajol secured bail in all the three cases filed against him.

On November 24, the same court granted him bail in one case.

Journalist Kajol went missing after leaving his office at night on March 10, a day after ruling party lawmaker from Magura-1 Saifuzzaman Shikhor filed a case against him and 31 others on charge of publishing a report with "false information".

A second case was also filed against him under the Digital Security Act on the same day.

The next day, his wife Julia Ferdousi Nayan filed a general diary with Chawkbazar Police Station.

Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) rescued Kajol from Sadipur border area at Benapole at early hours on May 2.
