Allegation of acid attack
HC judge’s son granted bail
A Dhaka court on Sunday granted bail to Safayet Ahmed Chowdhury, son of High Court Judge Salma Masud Chowdhury, in connection with an acid throwing case.
Additional chief metropolitan magistrate AHM Habibur Rahman Bhuiyan passed the order after hearing a petition seeking bail for Safayat.
Shafayat Ahmed was on Wednesday remanded in police custody for a day for interrogation in a case filed against him on charge of acid attack on one of his friends on August 5. Gulshan police arrested him on September 29.
Police said retired Biman official Asaduzzaman had filed the case accusing Salma Masud’s driver Mohammad Shahin and Jahid Hasan, one of the friends of her son, of carrying out an acid attack on his son Sabbir Zaman on August 5.
Shafayat, son of businessman Selim Ahmed and grandson of former justice ATM Masud Chowdhury, was a close friend of Sabbir, police said.
