Observer Online Report

Senior journalist Anis Alamgir on Thursday granted permanent bail in a case filed by the Anti-Corruption Commission.

The order was issued by Dhaka Metropolitan Sessions Judge Sabbir Fayez.

The court directed Anis Alamgir to appear physically on scheduled hearing dates.

His lawyer Taslima Jahan Popy said Anis appeared before the court as a hearing was scheduled for the case.

After the hearing, the court approved the bail and travel requests but rejected the plea for exemption from personal appearance.

The journalist's legal troubles began on December 14 last year when a Detective Branch (DB) team took him into custody for questioning.

The three other suspects in the case are actress Meher Afroz Shaon, fashion model Maria Kispotta and television host Imtu Ratish.

The group was accused of conspiring to destabilise the state and inciting a banned organisation.
