BARGUNA, Sept 03 (UNB): Ayesha Siddika Minni was released from the district jail on bail on Tuesday in a case over the murder of her husband Rifat Sharif.

Mozammel Hossain, father of Minni, received her at the jail gate when she walked out of the jail around 4:35 pm, said Anwar Hossain, Jail Super of Barguna District Jail.

Earlier in the day, Chief Judicial Magistrate M Zahid Hossain asked the jail authorities to free Minni after receiving the copy of the bail.

The Appellate Division on Monday upheld the High Court bail for Minni in the case, clearing the way for her release from jail.

The bench of Supreme Court judge Hasan Foyez Siddique passed the order dismissing a government plea challenging the HC order.

On August 29, the HC granted bail to Minni on condition of staying in her father's custody and refraining from talking to media.

Police in Barguna on Sunday pressed charges against 24 people, including Minni, in the murder case.

Meanwhile, a court ordered the authorities concerned to send six teenage accused in Rifat Sharif murder case to Jashore Juvenile Correction Centre.

Barguna Senior Judicial Magistrate Mohammad Sirajul Islam Gazi passed the order when police produced them before the court.

With this, a total of seven teenage accused in the case have been sent to the Juvenile Correction Centre.

The court also fixed September 18 for next hearing.
