A court in Dhaka granted bail to businesswoman Helena Jahangir in a case filed under the telecommunication act on Tuesday.
Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) on 29 July detained Helena Jahangir from her Gulshan house and seized foreign liquors, illegal walkie-talkie sets, sharp weapons, foreign currencies, casino equipment and a deer hide.
She also faced several more charges under the Digital Security Act and the Special Powers Act.
Helena Jahangir was a member of the women affairs sub-committee of ruling Awami League. She was expelled from the post on 17 January over her social media activities violating the party policy.
She was criticised for a Facebook post announcing recruitment of leaders for an organisation named “Bangladesh Awami Chakrijibi League”.
