Former Superintendent of Police (SP) Babul Akhter has been released from prison after nearly 3 years and seven months in the wife Mahmuda Khanam Mitu murder case.

On Wednesday (December 4) at 5:35 pm, he left the Chattogram Central Jail by car. However, at this time, Babul Akhtar did not talk to anyone present including the media personnel.

Earlier, the chamber court upheld the bail granted by the High Court to former Superintendent of Police (SP) Babul Akhtar in the murder case of wife Mahmuda Khanam Mitu.

Earlier, former Superintendent of Police Babul Akhtar was granted bail by the High Court on Wednesday after spending almost three years and seven months in jail. Mitu's father Mosharraf Hossain appealed to the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court seeking cancellation of his bail.

On August 14, Chattogram's third additional metropolitan session judge Md. SP Babul Akhtar applied for bail in Jasim Uddin's court. Later, on August 18, the judge denied his bail.

Incidentally, on the morning of June 5, 2016, Mitu, the wife of Chittagong Superintendent of Police Babul Akhtar, was shot and hacked to death while going to drop her son in the school bus at GEC intersection in Chattogram city.

SP Babul Akhtar was transferred from Chattogram a few days before the incident. The murder took place in Chattogram immediately after he went to join the workplace in Dhaka. After three and a half years of investigation after the incident, the Police Bureau of Investigation (PBI) got the charge of investigating the case in January 2020 on the orders of the court.

Then in May 2021, PBI said that wife Mitu was killed in Babul Akhtar's 'plan'. And for this, Babul "gave three lakh taka through people" to the murderers.

Later the final report was given in Babul's case and Mitu's father filed another case. However, after Mitu's father's case failed in court, Babul's case was revived. Babul was arrested by PBI in May 2021.

On September 13, 2022, PBI submitted the charge sheet in the court in that case. Seven people including Babul were accused.

Then on October 10 of that year, the Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Court of Chittagong accepted the complaint.

On April 9 last year, Mitu's father, former police officer Mosharraf Hossain, testified in the case.

The case is currently under trial in the court of Chittagong Third Additional Metropolitan Sessions Judge Jasim Uddin.

Of the 97 witnesses in the case, the testimony of 52 including Mitu's mother Shaheda Mosharraf has already been completed.

Babul Akhtar applied for bail in the Third Additional Metropolitan Sessions Judge Court of Chattogram on August 14. When the judge refused, his lawyers approached the High Court.
