A Cox's Bazar court this morning granted bail to Shahedul Islam Shifat, who was present when retired Major Sinha was shot, in two cases filed with Teknaf Police Station.
The court of Teknaf Upazila Senior Judicial Magstrate Tamannah Farah passed the order around 11:15am, reports our Cox's Bazar correspondent quoting Shifat's lawyer Mohammad Mostafa.
"The court also granted the appeal of changing the investigation officer of both the cases filed against my client," the senior advocate said adding that now the two cases against Shifat will be investigated by Rapid Action Battalion instead of police.
Sub-inspector Nandadulal Rakshit of Teknaf Police Station had filed two cases against Shifat under narcotics control and obstruction of government control act on August 1.
