Cheating Case
Bidisha granted permanent bail


A Dhaka court yesterday granted a permanent bail to Bidisha, estranged wife of Jatiya Party chief HM Ershad, in a case filed by her former husband for stealing, cheating and threatening him with death.

Judge Mominullah of the Court of Metropolitan Sessions Judge issued the order when Bidisha along with her counsels prayed for permanent bail.

Earlier on June 12, the same court granted her ad-interim bail until yesterday following a criminal appeal filed against the rejection order of the lower court.

Bidisha was arrested on June 4 after her former husband filed the case. He filed a second case with the Court of First Class Magistrate, Dhaka on June 5 for cheating him after marriage, and a third one with Mohammadpur Police Station on June 8 for passport forgery.

The officer-in-charge of Gulshan Police Station on June 16 filed a money laundering case against Bidisha.

She was freed from prison after 23 days on June 27.
