Amatullah Bushra, a 3rd year student of East West University, was freed from jail on Tuesday after two months of her arrest in a case filed over the death of BUET student Fardin Noor Parash.
She walked out of Kashimpur Women's Central Jail, Gazipur around 2 pm, said Jailer Farhana Akter.
Manjurul Islam, father of Bushra received her from the jail gate.
Earlier, on January 8, Judge Tahsin Iftekhar of Additional Metropolitan Sessions Judge's Court-7 granted bail to Bushra in the case after hearing a bail petition.
Bushra was in jail for around two months in the case, despite investigation agencies failing to find any evidence connecting her to her friend's death, reports UNB.
On December 15 last year, additional commissioner (Detective Branch) of Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) Mohammad Harunur Rashid said they would give a report to the court that Bushra has no connection with the death of Fardin.
Bushra was arrested from her Banasree home in Dhaka on November 10, 2022, soon after the recovery of Fardin's body. She was sent to jail after expiry of her five-day remand on November 16.
After a long 38-day investigation, the DB chief said on December 14 that Fardin roamed alone in different areas of Dhaka before he went missing.
"Fardin was not murdered, he committed suicide by jumping into the river from Sultana Kamal Bridge On November 4 out of desperation," he said.
Fardin was a 3rd year student of Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology's civil engineering department and a resident of Qutubpur area in Narayanganj's Fatullah.
Police recovered Fardin's body from the Shitalakhkhya River, behind a cotton mill at Siddhirganj, on November 7, three days after he went missing.
Sheikh Farhad, a physician at Narayanganj General Hospital where the autopsy was done, said there were several injury marks on Fardin's head and body.
Kazi Nuruddin Rana, Fardin's father, filed a case in connection with his son's killing with Rampura Police Station on the same day and the case was later transferred to Detective Branch (DB) Police.
