The High Court has granted bail to former law minister and former Jhalakathi-1 MP Barrister Muhammad Shahjahan Omar in several separate cases, while issuing a rule in another case asking why he should not be granted bail.
A High Court bench passed the orders after hearing the petitions on Monday (November 9).
Shahjahan Omar has been accused in several cases filed over incidents surrounding the student-led mass uprising in July-August 2024.
In August 2026, reports emerged that he had been shown arrested in separate murder and attempted murder cases in Dhaka.
However, details of the cases in which he secured bail and the case in which the court issued the rule were not available in the original report.
