A Dhaka court has granted bail to Tahmid Hasib Khan, one of the suspects in the deadly terror attack on Holey Artisan Bakery in Gulshan, in a case filed over the attack.
He was arrested along with another suspect former North South University teacher Hasnat Reza Karim on August 3 under Section 54 on suspicion of their involvement in the case, reports the Dhaka Tribune.
Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Laskar Sohel Rana issued the order on Sunday.
The court also fixed October 5 as the date for the hearing on a report submitted by Inspector Humayun Kabir of police's Counter-terrorism and Transnational Crime (CTTC) unit, who is investigating the case.
The report found that Tahmid is innocent after a probe into a general diary over the attack.
