Amatullah Bushra, a 3rd year student of East West University, was freed from jail on Tuesday after two months of her arrest in a case filed over the death of Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET) student Fardin Noor Parash.
Bushra walked out of Kashimpur Women’s Central Jail, Gazipur around 2 pm, said Jailer Farhana Akter. Bushra’s father Manjurul Islam received her from the jail gate.
On January 8, Judge Tahsin Iftekhar of Additional Metropolitan Sessions Judge's Court-7 granted bail to Bushra in the case after hearing a bail petition, reports UNB.
Bushra was in jail for around two months in the case, despite investigation agencies failing to find any evidence connecting her to her friend's death.
On 15 December last year, additional commissioner (Detective Branch) of Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) Mohammad Harunur Rashid said they would give a report to the court that Bushra has no connection with the death of Fardin.
Bushra was arrested from her Banasree home in Dhaka on November 10, 2022, after Fardin’s father filed a murder case naming Bushra as an accused and several unidentified people with Rampura Police Station following recovery of his son’s body the Shitalakhkhya River on November 7.
Fardin was a 3rd year student of BUET’s civil engineering department and a resident of Qutubpur area in Narayanganj's Fatullah.
