Bangladesh clears Canadian student of cafe attack charges

A local court today cleared a Bangladeshi-origin Canadian student of all charges relating to the deadly cafe terror siege here that killed 20 foreign hostages including an Indian girl.
Tahmid Hasib Khan was freed on bail on Sunday after police said he had no link with the Dhaka attack of July 1 when suspected Islamic State terrorists killed 22 people, including 20 foreigners at a popular restaurant frequented by expatriates in Dhaka's diplomatic enclave, the Daily Star reported.
The country has also witnessed a series of high-profile attacks on Hindus, other religious minorities, secular bloggers and publishers.
Police had arrested Khan, 22, under section 54 of the Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC) as an instigator of the Gulshan cafe attack.

He was released after a police probe report said there was no evidence of his links to the Gulshan attackers or any other militants.
