A Muslim woman victim of alleged police torture at Sattor village in Birbhum district was today granted bail by a court here after the police presented the case diary this morning.
The court of Suri CJM Indranil Chatterjee had rejected Hitunnesha Bibi's bail prayer last Friday as the police failed to submit the case diary, prompting the Chief Judicial Magistrate to order submission of the same by July 13.
Along with Hitunnesha Bibi, another woman Najera Bibi, was also granted bail. The two were arrested last Sunday for blocking road and allegedly attacking the police at Sattor village.
Four others, including Hitunnesha Bibi's husband Sabur Seikh, who were also arrested in connection with the incident of road block, were not given bail today.
Somnath Mukherjee, lawyer for the woman and the other arrested, said "the court granted them bail on some condition. I have prayed before the court that the women had no criminal background and that the police had fabricated cases against them.
