Dhaka: Law, Justice and Parliamentary Affairs Adviser Dr Asif Nazrul today announced that the process of receiving bail bonds online will commence on a trial basis tomorrow (Wednesday), facilitating the direct transmission of bail documents to prisons with a single click.
According to Bangladesh Sangbad Sangstha, Dr Asif Nazrul highlighted the cumbersome process following bail approval, which currently involves 12 stages that often lead to financial exploitation and harassment. He stated, “After a person secures bail, there are reportedly 12 stages before release-often involving money and harassment. From tomorrow, we’re launching a pilot project. With just one click, the bail bond will instantly reach the respective jail.”
Dr Nazrul made this announcement while addressing the ‘Attorney General’s Office Internship Programme 2025’ at the Supreme Court auditorium. The event, chaired by Attorney General Md Asaduzzaman, also featured speeches by UNDP Resident Representative Stefan Liller, Norwegian Ambassador H¥kon Harald Gulbrandsen, and Swedish Ambassador Nicolas Linus Ragnar Weeks.
Additional Attorney General Aneek R Haque delivered the welcome address at the event.
