Earlier in the day, the former president of Dhaka South Jubo League was produced before the court from Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU) Hospital.
The court also asked him to submit his passport to the court as his bail condition, and anyway he has to take court permission to go abroad.
