Dikon first accused to get bail

COURT CORRESPONDENT
A Dhaka court yesterday granted ad-interim bail to an accused of the August 21 grenade attacks on Awami League (AL) rally last year.
This is the first time a lower court granted bail to an accused of the August 21 grenade attack case, court sources said.
Judge Mohammad Momin Ullah of the Metropolitan Sessions Judge's Court granted bail to Shoib Sayeed Dikon following a criminal appeal filed by the defence against the rejection order of the lower court.
The Chief Metropolitan Magistrate's Court had rejected his (Dikon) bail earlier.

General Secretary Advocate Khorshed Alam told the court that his client was implicated in the case as part of the conspiracy to harass him falsely. Moreover, his client's name was not mentioned in the first information report (FIR) of the case.
The prosecution opposed saying the sensational case is still under investigation.
Following the hearing the court passed the order upon a bond of Tk 50,000 with two guarantors.
Dicon, also the prime suspect in the Indian rice trader Majid Alam murder case, was shown arrested in the August 21 grenade attacks case on September 22 and placed on remand on several occasions. Dicon was shown arrested in the case following the confessional statement of 'Joj' Mia on June 26.
Criminal Investigation Department (CID) in the forwarding report filed before the court said Dicon is a close associate of Tanvir Islam Joy who is wanted in the case. After the attack, Dicon stayed at Zahidur Rahman's (another accused) village home of Paikgachha in Khulna. Moreover, the investigation officer (IO) gathered
important information about his involvement in the grenade attacks, the report said. Two others gave confessional statements to magistrates.
Saibal Saha Partha, Abdur Rahman, Habib alias Hannan, Waliullah, Hasan Zahid Tushar, Zahir Hossain, Akhter, Jiten, Monir, Mohammad Hossain, Ayub Ali, Joj Mia, Moklesur Rahman, Badsha Mia, Monzur Hossain, Shafiqul Islam, Abul Hashem Rana and Shah Alam were arrested in the August 21 grenade attack case filed by the police on August 22.
Among them Partha and six others were granted bail from the High Court.
