Rickshaw driver Md. Azizur Rahman, who was beaten by a mob while attempting to lay flowers at Dhaka’s 32 Dhanmondi on August 15, has been granted bail. Azizur had been imprisoned in connection with an attempted murder case linked to the July mass uprising. Sources confirm that, as he faces no other pending cases, nothing stands in the way of his release.
Azizur was attacked by a mob while paying tribute at 32 Dhanmondi, after which police arrested him. However, the Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) clarified that the arrest was made under a standard criminal case, not for murder.
