Staff Correspondent: A Dhaka court has granted bail to Jatiya Party MP AKM Salim Osman in a case filed for humiliating schoolteacher Shyamol Kanti Bhakta headmaster of Piyar Sattar Latif High School in Narayanganj.

Chief Judicial Magistrate Jesmin Ara Begum granted the permanent bail to Osman on Tuesday.

The court granted the bail upon a bond of TK 20,000 after hearing on a bail petition filed by Salim’s lawyer Kazi Najibullah Hiru.

The court also fixed July 4 for next hearing.

Earlier, the Narayanganj MP surrendered to the court on May 14.

The court ordered Salim to appear before it on 23 May (today) as he submitted a bail order issued by the High Court on May 8.

A video clip of the incident went viral on social media network sparking off huge protests across the country.
