Two leaders of the opposition BNP, sent to jail in cases over violence during a general strike, were released on Monday night on bail.
"Following the court's order, BNP Organising Secretary Fazlul Haque Milon was released at 9:10pm from Dhaka Central Jail and Standing Committee member Mirza Abbas was released at 9:30pm from BIRDEM hospital," Jailer Mahbubul Islam told bdnews24.com.
They were released on Monday night though the High Court had granted them bail on Thursday.
Mirza Abbas's Personal Assistant Sohel told that Abbas would stay in the hospital for the night. "He will go home in the morning [Tuesday]."
Two crude bombs had exploded inside the Secretariat and a bus was torched in front of the Prime Minister's Office in the capital on Apr 29 during an opposition-sponsored countrywide dawn-to-dusk shutdown called to protest alleged abduction of BNP leader M Ilias Ali.
Over 35 senior leaders of main opposition BNP and its allies were charged in the two cases filed over the incidents and sent to jail.
