HC grants bail for six months to Wadud Bhuiyan

---

The High Court (HC) Tuesday granted bail for six months to Wadud Bhuiyan, an ex-BNP lawmaker from hill-district Khagrachhari, who was jailed for 20 years in a graft case during the past emergency period, reports UNB.
A division bench comprising Justice AFM Abdur Rahman and Justice SM Emdadul Huq passed the order upon a pending appeal against the trial-court sentence in the graft case filed by the Anti-corruption Commission (ACC).
On July 22, 2007, Chittagong Divisional Court sentenced Abdul Wadud Bhuiyan to 20 years imprisonment and fined Tk 10 thousand for concealing information about Tk 63.6 million (6.36 crore) of his assets.
