A Dhaka court has granted bail to Mahmudur Rahman, the former acting editor of the newspaper Amar Desh, who was convicted in the case involving the attempted abduction and murder of Sajeeb Wazed Joy, the son of former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.

Dhaka Metropolitan Sessions Judge Ash-Shams Joglul Hossain approved his bail on Thursday.

Earlier on September 29, Mahmudur Rahman was sent to jail after his surrender before a Dhaka court in a case filed for plotting to abduct and kill Sajeeb Wazed Joy.

On 17 August last year, a court sentenced him to seven years' rigorous imprisonment in his absence.

Recently, Mahmudur Rahman returned to the country after spending over five and a half years in exile.
