Prothom Alo's Associate Editor Anisul Hoque and five others have secured bail in a case over the death of Dhaka Residential Model College student Nayeemul Abrar Rahat, who was electrocuted during an event organised by the newspaper's youth magazine on the school campus.
Dhaka's Metropolitan Magistrate Mohammed Jashim accepted their bail pleas after they surrendered to the court on Thursday, reports bdnews24.com.
Apart from Anisul, also the editor of Kishor Alo, the other bail recipients are Mahitul Alam, senior assistant editor of Kishor Alo, Kabir Bakul, the head of events and activation of Kishor Alo, and Shah Paran Tushar and Shuvashish Pramanik, assistants of events and activation of Kishor Alo.
The bail was granted a day after the court ordered the confiscation of their properties after they were shown absconding in the case.
Among the 10 accused in the case, five, including Prothom Alo Editor Matiur Rahman, are out on bail.
Abrar, 15, a nonresident student of class nine in Dhaka Residential Model College, received an electric shock from a power generator set up behind a stage erected for 'Ki Ananda' -- an event organised by Kishor Alo, a magazine published by Rahman.
