After filing of the case, the accused surrendered to the High Court that granted them ad interim anticipatory bail. A division bench, headed by Justice MA Matin, upon an application, passed the order and asked them to surrender to the lower court during this time. Barrister Shafique Ahmed assisted by Advocate Jahangir Hossain Selim appeared for the petitioners. Meanwhile, a metropolitan court on Sunday issued arrest warrants against AL chief Sheikh Hasina and two others in the case. However, the same court yesterday suspended operation of the arrest warrants until May 28, the date set for the next hearing of the case.
