The acting jailer of Sherpur district, facing charge of torturing a jail inmate, yesterday got bail from a Khagrachhari court. Chief Judicial Magistrate (CJM) Md. Iqtiarul Islam Mallik granted the bail at noon following submission of bail prayer by defense lawyer advocate Nasir Uddin Ahmed. The same court also fixed December 8 for next hearing. Earlier, Senior Judicial Magistrate Abdullah Al Mamun sent Faridur Rahman Rubel, acting jailer of Sherpur to Khagrachhari district jail on Thursday last after Rubel surrendered to court. A case was filed against Rubel recently by a prisoner alleging torture on him by the acting jailer when he was posted at Khagrachhari jail. The same court rejected the jailer's bail prayer for second time on Sunday.
