Gangni Poura chairman held after release on bail
Joint forces arrested Gangni municipality Chairman Ahmed Ali from jail gate soon after he was granted bail from a local court on Monday evening.
Earlier on March 9, authorities suspended him from chairmanship of the municipality.
Ahmed Ali is accused in four cases -- two for murder and two for extortion.
Arrested by joint forces on January 12 last year, Ahmed was released on bail after two and half months, police said.
The joint forces again arrested him on July 8, 2007.
After seven months, Meherpur District and Sessions Judge's Court granted him bail on Monday.
When he was released at around 7:00pm and came out from jail, a joint force team arrested Ahmed at the jail gate.
Joint forces handed him over to police the same night.
Police yesterday produced him before Judicial Magistrate's Court in Meherpur under Emergency Powers Act and the court sent him to jail.
Different sources including law-enforcing agencies said Ahmed, a leader of Meherpur district Awami League, allegedly maintained close relation with an outlawed party.
