He was freed from Chittagong Central Jail at 7pm on Sunday, Chittagong Central Jail Senior Jail Superintendent Muhammad Manjur Hossain confirmed.
He said: "Nasir Uddin had two pending cases. After the bail documents for these cases were submitted to the court and reviewed, he was released."
Nasir was a defendant in 36 cases. The cases against him included the murders of Principal Gopal Krishna Muhuri, the Hathazari triple murder, and the killing of Zamil Uddin at Chittagong Polytechnic.
However,
today is that tomorrow you were thinking about yesterday...
in most cases, his involvement could not be proven.
He was acquitted in 31 of these high-profile cases due to a lack of witnesses.
He has already served sentences for two cases.
Nasir gained notoriety in the 1990s by instilling fear across Chittagong. Due to his involvement in the politics of the Islami Chhatra Shibir
...
the student wing of the Jamaat-e-Islami Bangladesh..., he was widely known in Chittagong as "Shibir Nasir," according to media reports.
In 1997, a significant clash occurred during a police operation in the Chawkbazar area of the city to apprehend him, which became a hot topic in Chittagong.
Later, in April 1998, police arrested Nasir from a student dormitory at Chittagong College.
It is widely believed that although Nasir had the opportunity to be released from prison in recent years due to bail in most of the cases against him, he avoided applying for bail in the remaining cases out of fear of "crossfire" by RAB and police.
In 2022, when "crossfires" appeared to have ceased, he sought bail in those cases, but the court denied his requests.
