HC grants bail to Khoka

---

The High Court Monday granted bail to Dhaka mayor Sadek Hossain Khoka and stayed the proceedings of a graft case against him, filed by the Anti-corruption Commission, reports bdnews24.com.

The bail order will remain effective until July 16.

Khoka appealed to the HC shortly after a trial court issued an arrest warrant against him.

Metropolitan senior special judge Md Azizul Haque had earlier issued the arrest order.

The court had approved the warrant after accepting a charge sheet submitted by the ACC against Khoka, his wife and children.
