The detective branch police arrested Dhaka City Corporation ward councillor and actor Monwar Hossain Dipjol on Sunday afternoon as soon as he came out of the Dhaka Central Jail after being granted bail.
Prisons officials told New Age that Dipjol was bailed out at about 5:30pm in a case filed against him on charge of assault on a traffic police constable on November 16 in the city’s Gabtoli area.
DB sources said that the police picked up Dipjol as soon as he came out of the jail after being granted bail by a Dhaka court around midday Sunday.
Earlier, in the morning, Judge (vacation) Md Abdul Majid of the Metropolitan Session Judges’ Court granted him bail till December 27 after his lawyer Sanaullah Miah filed an appeal with the court against the order of a lower court which had denied him bail.
On December 5, the Chief Metropolitan Magistrate’s Court rejected his bail petition.
On December 1, Dipjol was remanded in custody for one day for interrogation after he had surrendered to Dar-us-Salam police.
The police said Dipjol had beaten up traffic police constable Altaf Uddin for stopping his car after he had jumped red light in the city’s Gabtoli area.
