DHAKA: Domestic help Khadiza Akter Sumi, who was held in a case of SB Inspector Mahfuzur Rahman and his wife Swapna Rahman murder, was released on bail Sunday.

She was released from Gazipur Juvenile Correction Center on care of her mother Salma Begum at 1:30pm. 

Assistant Caretaker Tasnim Ferdousi of the center confirmed the matter to banglanews.

Senior Staff Lawyer of Ain o Salish Kendra (ASK) Abdul Rashid said that Sumi could stay with us and go with her mother. The date of taking witness scheduled in June 16. She will attend on that day.

Earlier on May 20, a Dhaka court granted bail to Sumi but she did not get release as her mother-father failed to show their national ID cards.

The girl, however, was handed over to her guardian at Gazipur Juvenile Correction Center.

On August 16, Inspector Mahfuzur Rahman, 48, and his wife Swapna Rahman, 40, were found dead at their Chamelibagh apartment. They were killed on August 14.

The bodies were found in Oishee’s, their daughter, bathroom and they bore several stab wounds, police said earlier.
